Before this thread ends up going in the ridiculous direction of Boeing/Airbus, Fly-by-wire/Manual control lets not forget one thing.
There has already been accidents due to this type of mistake and all were Boeings are far as I can remember. The aircraft could not be manually controlled due to erroneous air data readings.
So erroneous air data information is just that, erroneous. It will in all probability lead to tragedy and has no respect for aircraft manufacturer. Therefore the boeing/airbus, manual/automated nonsense is not required here.
