He only had time to make ONE decision and he made the right one.
I think the data showed the decision to be 'left' initially, and then 'right when they tried to line up with the side of the runway. Did they make the correct decision? Probably not, looks like they decided to turn back, but forgot to decide when to slow down and take flap, just because the outcome is safe does not mean it was a good decision. I could be speeding, skid off the road, bounce off several trees and survive with no injuries, did any of my decisions save me?
I don't think this was an 'amazing' feat of aviating, but it was enough.
I reckon if he had landed without incident on the runway the language would be 'he did what he was trained for'. So I can't see how missing the runway completely is somehow 'amazing'.
