If the mishap the pilot had more recency of experience in instrument flying, and perhaps a better internalized Inadvertent IFR procedures - in other words, had he been able to draw on the full suite of flying skills that a pilot with an instrument rating would be expected to have - then which button was or was not pushed to aid their flying efforts isn't the primary thing to address. Those buttons are there to help you fly.
