Awwwww, folks, don't take it personally. Despite increasing numbers of participants in our chat getting (auto)biographical, this thread is still about technical (and somewhat HF) subject and what we are discussing is a part of objective reality that doesn't care much (if at all) about someone's opinions.

If one is not seriously involved in the business of confirmation bias then one is obliged to recognize that not only such a system can counter unreasonable command but that it was a main reason why it was developed in the first place.

Yup. Couple of seconds or couple of degrees difference might mean we'd still operate old, flawed FCUs nowadays. Makes me wonder whether we'd have EGPWS today if B757 had speedbrake autostow like 320. Effing blood priority.

Now watch usual suspect rise to the bait.
