given that the NTSB conclusions from this accident clearly pinned the blame for the structural failure of that A/C's tail on poor piloting techniques induced by poor training practices at AA.
I would beg to suggest that is by no means the whole story as regards the NTSB conclusions. Yes, they (justifiably) had things to say about AA training, and the handling skills of the PF.
But they also (justifiably) had criticism for the Airbus rudder system, in particular the breakout forces and difficulty achieving progressive response/control inputs at speed.
