What I am left with after reading the entire thread is just a bit more about the Airbus and also it's mfg. and it's owners.

The idea is to build and fly an a/c that "protects" itself from stall, excessive amounts of roll, pitch and a/s, programmed uniformly into a computer that virtually 'covers all the bases', prevents ham fisted pilots from over eager input, until..... it can't. Then the potentially abusive pilot gets the whole enchilada in his lap, with some stab trim and a restricted rudder. A hemmorrhage of electric data is broadcast after the fact, but can't be relied on because it results from, doesn't cause, the faults that the airline hope are never discovered. That about it?
