I'd say that we have another somatogravic illusion case here. But let's wait for what BEA has to say.
I totally agree the Capt should not have made control inputs without first taking control of the aircraft.
Biased? Where did you get that from? I could not care less if it was the Capt or FO. That said, have a close look at the traces in the flight parameters section of the report. The control column traces closely follow each other until slightly after the FO's control column began to move further aft at 07:51:16.
