I was always under the impression (clearly wrong, based on the above!) that in the event of windshear, the aircraft itself would initiate a go around, rather than the crew - or is there a mode in which this would be the case?

In a situation like the above, where the aircraft meets windshear and "decides" to go around, can the crew override this without risking the same incidents which befell the Interflug A310/CAL A300-600, a few years back? (Different cockpits, I know and I can't recall any situation where something similar has happened on the full FBW aircraft, but just curious.)
