That post from Under Duress is unfortunately typical of what can get postulated after an accident / incident and reminds me of the criticism directed at Sullenberger and crew because it was demonstrated that a pre briefed crew, after some practice attempts could react within seconds and land the aircraft on a runway (see the documentary “Sully”). This without any time for recognition, analysis or decision. They were trained dogs performing in the sim and just about hacking it.
We should remember that lots of folk look in here - you can be sure that Boeing does too - engineers and legal team.
Any sensible suggestions will at least be taken on board - any condemnation of crew actions seen as vindication of their insistence on the suitability of the stab runaway drill for a different and complex failure.
