If a pilot can follow each "degrade", well and good, otherwise "Graceful Degradation" can be a plot in the cemetery. Think about it. It sounds wonderful, but to synch each degrade with its counterpart, its replacement, describes a dance, no less. Here, the pilot should have hesitated to suss Attitude (so we are told). What was graceful about a cavalry charge, Master Caution, and a maneuvering a/c? ECAMS? Turbulence? Duff speeds? Say PF got it right, there followed three more instances of UAS, at a time when Airbus had not decided what to tell each crew. Reselect Autopilot? Or NOT? Careful, one chance only.
Arthur Murray can teach dancing in the studio, but two years hence, when the music is still, and the orchestra on leave, will John remember what to do with his hands? With his feet? Dancing is not natural to most pilots.
A fading away of a/c response must be synchronized with a building skill set from a pilot? Each gentle nuance recognized and bade farewell? It's a freaking machine. Fix the wrong stuff, train the right stuff, and let's keep moving. ffs.
