That's the procedure as it is written in the manuals and it looks good on paper, that’s also how it is teach in the simulator and that works just fine,
but in real life, when the unexpected comes around, incident reports show that more often that we may think, the instinctive reflex is to simply grab the stick and move it resulting in a dual input … Only after a few seconds the red button is usually pressed.
Regarding the seriousness of the thread, it would be easier if guys pretending demonstrating something based on a specific report could restrain from publishing numbers nowhere to be seen in that very report …
Thanks for your attention Lemurian.
