The topic has veered off plenty from the original question, but it is an interesting discussion. I don't know about anyone else, but I try to view all those Airbus protections with what I consider to be healthy suspicion.
These computers are slow. In a dynamic environment, it's good to remember that physics is the only thing that keeps you alive. If the air stops flowing over the wing, you are ****** and need to act yesterday. I'm not waiting for any computer to kick in when my and others lives depends on it. Although I am sure that all those Airbus engineers are brilliant, airmanship is why we get paid.
In my humble opinion, of course.
