Over the last few pages, those that consider yokes and feedback to be a panacea regardless of the circumstances are trying to hammer the known facts about this accident to fit a position they've already taken for reasons of their own, and yet they ignore incidents where an aircraft has stalled, the yoke has been back and the PNF did nothing, or (as in the case of the LH A320) they take the assumption that in a pressure situation a PF will automatically relinquish the controls as soon as a superior PNF touches them as hard fact, when there are plenty of incidents where that has not been the case.
Logically your argument also supports removing all aural warnings as there are numerous examples of flight crew disregarding them.

Where your argument is weak is that it misses all the potential incidents that became non-incidents because of the extra information provided.
