The truth hurts but you need to look closer to home for this one. It is the mark I human being at fault, nothing else.
Well yes but isn't it the job of aircraft designers and pilot trainers to look at previous instances of human failure and try to reduce the chances of other people making the same mistake again?

How long has it been known that pilots sometimes fail to recognise they are stalled? The examples you and others provided clearly show it's happened before.

Could/should something have been done about the issue sooner? Should something be done now? Would it really cost much? Have accidents become so rare that even relatively cheap changes fail cost v benifit analysis?
