Well they did manage to push the PL's up in an attempt to recover the aircraft at stick shaker, but the still malfunctioning RA caused the AT to command them back to idle. With the result that they hit the ground in a tail low attitude short of the runway. Maybe not so easy or elemental after all?
At this already very degraded stage it was not easy at all anymore.
Only an excellent team work would have saved the situation :
PF needed both hands on the control wheel to fight the enormous pitch up moment and at the request of the PF, the PNF should have maintained both power levers in the dash.

Much earlier in the approach one hand on the power levers would have helped to detect the inappropriate low power request ...
