Correct. What troubles me the most with 01, is not QF trying to reinvent the wheel, or going against the manufactures recommendation and common sense, or even forgetting they didn't build the aircraft. As you said Boeing did.
That the pilots went along with it!! Blind adherence to SOP's.I would have told them to get stuffed and let common sense prevail on a wet runway.

"What you can’t do though is list a single flight that was saved after a serious malfunction because of automation."
I can actually. Let's go back to the first flight and all subsequent flights by drones. The pilot wasn't incapacitated, it was worse as there was no pilot!! A serious malfunction if ever there was one. But wait, the day was saved by automation!
