The ATSB don't just interview the crew, decide they're nice blokes, and then shield them from criticism by contriving the evidence. The report is the product of many thousands of hours work by many highly qualified people using input from more of the same.
The unprecedented happened, redundancy wasn't, automatic diagnosis didn't, and it fell to the crew to make a successful outcome from the most confusing, trying and stressful of circumstances. Where the ATSB has 'praised' it is deserved and recognizes that, in the circumstances, this crew acted in the most timely/appropriate/prompt manner possible.
It sounds like you wanted the ATSB to say something like "The crew took action in 1.2seconds, which is considered timely in the circumstances".
I'm afraid I'm with Kremin on this one.
