@bearfoil : You've got no evidence for that assertion. You don't know, I don't know - none of us know what happened in that flight deck for those few minutes. We don't know whether the PF was confused by what he saw, we don't know if he panic-pulled (as has been known to happen) and we don't know if he did it because the little devil on his shoulder told him to. If you've got evidence that the pilot was confused by the law reversion then present it, otherwise you're just blowing hot air.
