I'll give you that if you can tell me at what point the aircraft and it's systems did *anything* other than what the men at the controls told it to do.
I think there is one truth in writes of Gretchenfrage ...
to cover the deficiencies of automation
Indeed .. the pitot tubes event was not required by the pilots (they never told to the pitots tubes to be blocked) .. and it's a deficiency of the automation (pitot tube is part of the automation chain and is one of the main data source waited by the automation system to work at 100 % effectively)
