Prove it.
Beyond doubt.
That's all I ask.
@DozyWannabe: Maybe the report can help?
BEA FR 2.1.2.3 Control of the flight path
It would also seem unlikely that the PNF could have determined the PF’s flight path stabilisation targets. It is worth noting that the inputs applied to a sidestick by one pilot cannot be observed easily by the other one and that the conditions of a night flight in IMC make it more difficult to monitor aeroplane attitudes (pitch attitude in particular).

I must admit to a little disappointment at the level of discussion re AF447 and the same in the tech log thread, where one would expect at least some technical discussion about the report's recommendations. A few months ago, there were serious discussions about all kinds of issues, but now that the final report has been issued, no one seems to want to talk about it in any serious way at all.
Perhaps there are those who would prefer both threads to become trivialised, so that no external readers of influence take it too seriously, or is that too cynical ?...
yes , unfortunately i tend to agree.
