Are you saying that automation contributed to the Asiana 214 crash??? It sure looks like an automated landing would have prevented the crash. You make my argument for me! (with great respect sir, since I am only a PPL)
Err, no, it is an obvious example of the deleterious effect of automation (using too much of it) on handflying skills.
