Article suggesting the A320 was more the hero than Sully

See this news article about longer piece written by aviation writer William Langewiesche suggesting that flight control laws written into A320 software were more responsible for the successful result than the pilot.

Vanity Fair: Did Sully Sullenberger Land in the Hudson? Or Did the Plane Land Itself? - The Middle Seat Terminal - WSJ

Do the pilots out there think that if Sully had kept his hands completely off the controls, the result would be the same?
