hmmm

by the Airbus telex and what seems to be consensus among those ppl defending the AB system, can I assume that the outcome might be similar to:

Cause of accident: PF failed to retard the #2 thrust lever.
The aircraft performed as designed.

Or in other words: human error is intolerable.
Or more accurately put would be that you can't design for every eventuality. If people grossly misuse the system it's going to fail and no amount of clever design will fix that.
