I wasn't referring to what he could see, I was referring to what he was told (and what he wasn't, namely that the aircraft had been nose up and climbing for over 30s prior to his arrival).

When problem-solving, the first thing you do is gather information from those already present and focus on those issues. This is because in most cases it's quicker to get a summary from them rather than try to work it out from scratch yourself.

That's not what I said - I said that what is perceived as "natural" is bound to change over time.

Think about it. Cable controls, electro-mechanical devices, hydraulics - they're all "technology", and they ended up feeling natural. Why not this setup?
