Not sure who that is, but fail to see what relevance a single pilot getting something right has?
Plenty get it wrong.

the list of pilot error crashes that a computer would never have made is enormous

It makes no difference, to my argument. I conceded that there will be occasions, the black swan events where a human would be better.
Most accidents are not something new.

It's not that the best pilots are not great, it's that the worst are so much worse than a computer.
Computers are consistent. You can produce 1000 and they will perform the same day and night, and if they don't, you swap them out!
