before we all get too hung up on the automation and bergenair etc. remember that we do need pitot static systems to fly an aircraft in IMC - and failure of this system will always be a problem - possibly manageable but an issue nonetheless. we do not need autopilots and rad-alts to fly an approach, sure they're a nice-to-have but not essential and failures should be complete non-events. The fact that this wasn't a non event is not an automation, or Rad-alt logic etc etc etc issue, it was human factors issue.
This minor (and it was VERY minor) failure should not have led to this accident. either there is some other problem that the press briefing (note as mentioned above, this isn't a report its a press breifing) hasn't mentioned, or there is a human factors issue that we can all learn from - although its probably going to come back to Aviate-navigate-communicate.
