Well, if the Captain takes over at 400 feet, there certainly does seem to be an implication that the approach was unstable or otherwise outside of parameters. But the Crew reported that the approach was stable, on speed, on track and on glide. Not sure what the missing bit of information is that makes those two facts fit together.
