TLB, there is a significant difference between being responsible and being able to exercise responsibility. Thus, neither automation or pilots, but the combination, interacting with the situation being experienced - context.
See appendix N of the report - previous incidents. The outcome of all of these was success, but the context differed - more altitude, alternative alerting - situation awareness, and thus time available.
“...no matter how hard they try, humans can never be expected to out perform the system which bounds and constrains them. Organisational flaws will, sooner or later, defeat individual human performance.”

“
Airmanship is a personal attitude to flying, why we do it, how we do it. Airmanship must grow with training, experience, and personal exposure. It is not just about staying alive or not bending the airplane or yourself, it is about walking off the airfield knowing that you have both performed and crafted an activity. You have been totally aware of what you have done and why you enjoyed it, and a that point you owe nothing to anyone.” Slide 13
