I was advocating a concept and assuming the self-evident did not need explaining. The concept is putting the primary control in a position that is visible and accessible from both seats: the self-evident is that control redundancy is provided.
(Baron von Munchausen, if you are listening, I'm not seriously suggesting we replace two high bypass turbo fan engines with a single Continental 0-200. Also, just to be clear, there is no insinuation that a lawn mower starter handle should be used anywhere in an Airbus. At least not on the flight deck.)
