@roulis - I've explained at least half a dozen times how the software development work was done, most recently in post #740.
The chances of there being a logical error due to a mis-key - as you theorise - are practically zero because the code is not keyed in manually. The chances of there being a logical error aren't much greater because of the pioneering work on testing, regression and reliability metrics. After that there's the fact that every major system "block" was implemented twice using syntactically different methods, and each is cross-checked against the other.
Even CONF iture seems to be accepting the possibility that it might just be a known feature of the system at this point, even if he doesn't much like how that particular mode functioned.
Between OG and HN39's sterling work, we're looking at a very reasonable explanation of how the aircraft functions would have behaved in that scenario.
