I have read a lot of speculation on possible failures or problems with the Airbus FBW system on this thread. It has all been very interesting and intelligently argued with lots of well argued logic. But...what seems to be clear is that it is just speculation. People seem over-ready to blame the aircraft because they don't know or understand how it works or how it was designed. The ones who are the most emphatic seem to be the ones with the least understanding. Whilst it is human to seek explanations one does need to consider a set of circumstances from the point of view of the actuality not what the writer would like to believe. So far, though, the evidence/information points in the direction of the human factor not the aircraft. All else could be considered wishful thinking.
