Flight Safety:
No one here is denying that there was pilot/crew error. No one here is denying that faulty sensor (AoA or other) cannot affect the flying qualities of non-FBW aircraft. What I am saying, and I think at least some others agree, is that there was a hardware, software, or training/experience problem which aggravated the situation and inhibited the pilots' ability to recover from it. That problem, or problems, need to be aired and everyone will benefit from that. Sweeping problems under the rug benefits no one.
