CONF iture, jcjeant;
I have read and understand your arguments regarding the sidestick.
The sidestick solution is successful as millions of flight hours, thousands of crews quietly going about their work and the incident-accident rates all can attest. It is neither reasonable nor possible to point to one control solution over the other by citing the record in support of a personal opinion; the record is not there. Nor is it reasonable to cite one accident in support of a general theory. Even so, that door swings both ways.
What is reasonable is personal preferences, even using the same reasons; but a preference isn't an argument.
Regards.
