Not to mention the software thinks it's smarter than the pilot. Won't let the pilot "hurt" the aircraft. "Interprets" what the pilot wants based on flight regime. Not atypical of fly-by-wire, but leaves one to ponder if an override feature for some aspects would be desireable.

For example, in a rapid descent where an over-torque would be more desireable than impacting the ground at a rapid rate, the computer won't let you, so you crash instead. Might be a good time to override the max-torque limit of the software.
