It's not really that complicated to be honest. Ultimately we're talking about differences in mode that didn't really have a great deal of effect in the grand scheme of things.
I think one thing that is coming out of the discussions above all else is that the only guaranteed way that accident could have been avoided was to not point an aircraft full of pax at a forest and chop back the power in the first place! That's an airmanship issue, not a technical one.
