This argument reminds me of the Star Trek episode when the ship is being attacked by the Klingons. A lady commander is in charge on the bridge. It all starts to go wrong with the ship disintegrating as she issues various orders to the crew. Everything suddenly stops and then Captain Kirk walks in - they are in the simulator. Kirk proceeds to debrief the commander in unequivocal terms. When he has finished she asks "Captain Kirk, permission to speak?", "Granted" he replies.
"If I may say so, Captain Kirk, I was in a 'no-win' situation" Kirk replies "One of the things you have to learn as a Starship Commander is that sometimes you are in a no-win situation!"
Human beings do the best they can with the resources available at the time. In fact Sullenberger and his crew did win - everyone is still around to tell the tale.
