I could go on forever. I will never say never, will you?
No. But - possibly (working from the comments of many professional pilots on this thread) - this accident includes features of crew reaction (or inaction) that are so difficult for professionals to explain that it is reasonable to discount the risk/probability of repetition. That is not to say that systems safeguards should not be enhanced, if that can be done efficiently.

Is it not possible to contemplate that a single accident (possibly this one) may include components that really are, in reasonably foreseeable circumstances, massively unlikely to be repeated? Put more succinctly - "hard cases make bad law".
