Design and Phylosophy
I agree with you, a TL fault could well explain it... but as you touch-down and you see NO ground spoilers deploying, in that case a go-around could be initiated because you've got eng-2 (rev pinned) ready to go and lots of speed (even if you got eng-1 retracting the shells you'll be up to flight speed in a second or two). At short runways like this one there is no time to think (or read and interpret ECAM or even do any stupid LOSS of BRAKES recall action) you have to be go-around minded and that is that... What is really to blame is the design and flight philosophy. If that TL moved as in the Auto-Throttle design or if he had simply disconnected the AUTO-THRUST the same-time as the AUTO-PILOT (as opposed to AIRBUS recomendation) this accident would not have happened! I think too much automation is not very good for split-second decision making. Think about that!
