You are absolutely right ... but my point is more that what you don't like, is what is doing the aircraft, because except through the rudder pedals, you just don't have any clue of the PF action on the controls, maybe the guy is very much correcting maybe he's not at all, how would you know ?
So the time you realize, the time you analyze, the time you take the action you think is necessary, the time you analyze again, some valuable time has passed, and when you are so close from the GND, it could make a difference between a tail strike or something worse, and a happy escape.
