It might surprise you, but the people involved were not unfeeling robots.
A reminder that, excepting what caused the AOA vane failure in the first place, that this was from the drafting board to the cockpit a long chain of human errors that led to tragedy.

Hopefully all the appropriate lesson will be learned.
