That's a bit of a stretch to try to suggest that a human was all that was needed to solve the landing issues.
We may never know what exactly happened, but it is hardly relevant.

While generally I agree with your post, obviously, your statement about needing humans to recover the situation is problematic.
No human could beat a computer at flying a perfect glide approach to a landing if you fitted one designed to do it.
That is the sort of thing they are particularly good at. No different from flying a perfect cruise. It has all the performance info/glideslopes/AoA data to finesse it better than a human who is trying it for the very first time.
