I had missed it until you just pointed it out. Thanks.
I obviously tend toward the view that AAMP may have (you say "likely provided the seed" - I imagine we both want to hedge) reinforced the PF's inclinations towards rudder use, which is what the NTSB found and against which AI, Boeing and the FAA had warned.
It would not be the first time. Accidents caused by in-flight activation of thrust reverse or ground spoilers led to the WoW criterion for deployment, which in turn led Lufthansa to float along the Warsaw runway without any deceleration aids for 9 seconds in 1993, and overrun.
There are other factors, of course, in both accidents.
