There's some very dubious analysis in the report on Kegworth.

However, there are several recommendations about training and displays.

I believe it's in this latter respect that the report got it right, and I don't believe that

is substantiated.

Yes, people make mistakes, and designers and airworthiness authorities should allow for those mistakes in their machinations. That's how aviation safety works in the human-controlled environment, and accidents such as Kegworth (and Grammatikos) point to inadequacies in design and training, not in the human being.
