Not at all my friend, you clearly used the SFO Asiana accident as a point of reference for an example of how tough the B777 is - I was merely pointing out that the Airbus wouldn't have allowed that to happen in the first place as it's auto thrust doesn't go to sleep and need waking up!
Incidentally I can think of a few examples of mode confusion as the causal factor of accidents for EACH manufacturer.... Just as I can think of a couple of examples of how the 'bus stayed intact after an accident to allow ALL occupants to escape (AF A340 in YYZ, VS A340 LHR, US A320 Hudson, Jet Blue A320 Long Beach).
But as others have said, who really gives a toss? I've been flying wide body Airbus products for cracking on for 15 years and never had any issues with the man machine interface, just the same as you in your Boeing - two cracking bits of kit essentially doing the same job - only ignorance clouds the water
