CONF iture,

  1. You are correct in your assessment, but it could be about time to accept those temporary "extra risks" if you want to improve the overall situation in a near future.
  2. If a crew is not comfortable with its manual flying during an approach, just press again the 2 or 3 buttons to give back the controls to the airplane.
Re #1, yes that could be true, but before we do so we should make sure we know what the problem really is, what improvement we will achieve and what the quantum of the extra risk we choose to accept is.

Re #2, also true, but the risk lies in those who don't recognize the appropriate time to press said buttons.
