Since when is the B777 a narrowbody
I was a bit preoccupied

AF Flight 296 was one of the famous FBW incidents, though it wasn't about the control surfaces or the airframe. The thrust levers was just a decoration instead of controlling the fuel flow, or the Captain Michel Asseline was trying to commit suicide with his passengers on board.

What if 777's overintelligent computers disagree with the pilots commands just as in the AF296?

If everything is simply is on the computer's determination, that would make no sense to try a yoke to be tweaked as its feeling like a hydraulic yoke. Because in fact aircraft decides on its own pitch and bank angle.

So 777 has a bit less strict FBW system than what found in buses?
