that's absolutly correct, and I'm often amazed of how some of my collegues "stir the pot", i.e. fiddle around with the stick without any (great) effect. Real Airbus flying is: give an input, look what it does, give the next input (if needed).
But I don't see any stirring with AF447. He pulled fully and hard. If he would have "stirred the pot", you could see a zick-zack line that changes direction within split second, similar to the "zipper" some see in the vertical speed artefact. If he would have "stirred the pot", he would have given down inputs at least 50% of the time. But he didn't he pulled most of the time. Because he wanted to pull.
