Well, I guess to know the answer to that you would have to be a pilot a be seated next to someone you might not know controlling an aircraft in a way that you are "less able" to monitor. I´m sure you are intelligent enough to imagine it, but then again, I guess you would have to really be there to really know.
(BTW, I fly the Airbus and like it a lot, but IT DOES have some shortcomings, no design is perfect from the start. In the meantime people have to learn to live with it. Users doing that are not the mark of a perfect design, only of human brains working to adapt and do the best with what they have.)
Get a rating, sit in the seat and you will see for yourself I´m sure.
