Conclusion was that had the maximum manual braking pressure inputs commanded along with the reversers fully deployed, the a/c could have been brought to a full stop on the paved surface.
I guess the point is being missed here. It's not the auto-brake setting that would have saved the day, but alternative actions that could have been taken to prevent this unnecessary disaster.

Here's a better conclusion. A 360 or delayed vectors to lose altitude to regain the proper descent profile.

Here's another better conclusion. Break off the approach when unstable.
