I know. It doesn't alter the fact that there shouldn't have been a DUAL INPUT situation in the first place. Even if they didn't go around as soon as stability was lost (which was the best case scenario), the captain mishandled the procedure for taking control.
It was a high-pressure situation, so it's understandable that instinct overrode training. However, despite assertions to the contrary, there's no guarantee that the outcome would have been any better with yoked controls - in fact if it had triggered a startle response in the F/O it may even have been worse.
@CONF - you do realise that the accusation of arrogance you're levelling at A33Zab for saying what he's saying can also be levelled at you for insisting that yokes solve everything and are an objectively superior control method, don't you?
