This thread and ten previous are treasure trove of information... for psychologist interested in obstinacy.

Xcitation's link is at least 10th time it is mentioned that analysis of "What would happen if no control input had been made" was performed and has shown very moderate roll and pitch excursions yet folks still harp about turbulence and unstable aeroplane.

Many a time were referenced parts of report that mention that crew was flying through area frequented by thunderstorms but they made a good job of avoiding and yet every now and then someone shouts "They entered CB!"

Interim 2 was very clear that almost every incident (about 30 of them) in cruise resulted in AP disconnect and degradation to alternate law but none resulted in any injury, damage, overstress or departing the envelope. Still we have folks shouting from their soapboxes of how difficult it is to manually fly the modern airliner at altitude and that we need more actual practice in doing so or otherwise we'll face dire consequences.

Of course, there are usual suspects whose last escapade was to hint that what happened to sloppily maintained and then tragically slipshod test flown 320 is in some mysterious way applicable to all FBW Airbi.

While there were a lot of posts that were relevant, informative and stemming from some excellent expert analysis, if we were to employ noise reduction technique on the AF447 threads we'd be hard pressed to fill a single thread with signal, let alone ten.
