I stand by post#1 here, posted nearly two years ago, and would repeat another post somewhere else that an easily accessible big button on this type of system is needed to enable direct control (assuming, of course, we have pilots in the cockpit and not computer operators).

There is still, even after all these years and accidents, much yet to be discovered on this FBW system and its failure/reversionary modes which appear to be built on the assumption that 'nothing can really go wrong so we don't need to worry too much about it.' Murphy's law applies.
