All discussions on connected controls "breakout" feature can be boiled down to training IMHO. I cannot believe pilots were not aware of the existance of this feature. However this feature is "presented" in training only as a "solution ico jammed controls". I personally admit I never thought it would be possible that "fighting pilots" would create a similar effect and breakout could be achieved in such a scenario as these forces are fairly high.
A simple demo of both pilots giving opposite inputs in training would create the necessary awareness and avoid future problems.
