That's the point, one way to evaluate has been withdrawn.
The use of "might" and "may" is also important in another sense, namely that they were unable to prove it one way or another - and based on the historical record it has made far less of a difference than some like to claim.
AAIB did not have to prove anything, they just mention that what is possible with a more conventional cockpit layout is not with an A320 concept.
The point the report was making is that taken in isolation, it is unwise to train a pilot on the line in an A320 if that pilot is not yet confident when it comes to approach and landing, and they should have that mastered in the simulator first.
The point the report is making is that what would be unwise to do in a conventional cockpit layout is especially unwise in an A320.
The report touches on the possibility of following through with conventional controls, but it does not directly compare the two - probably because even in a conventionally laid out flight deck, there should be no "follow through" necessary when training on the line.
If dozy knows better than the AAIB ...
In normal operations, only one pilot should have their hands on the PFC in a control sense if going by the book.
Because "following through" means just that "following through"
Who said "controlling" ?
Anyway, are you really in the best position to comment on what's happening or should be done or not on a flight deck ... ?
Some guys around have Experience you know ... they can make such statements if they wish.
