You didn't understood my point, AF447 wasn't pilot error entirely. No Bonin wasn't an idiot at all
Between a Pilot making an (albeit gross) error and being an idiot is quite a difference. It is the task of Training to reduce the risk of making Errors and if Errors are made, to be able to correct them.
Still AF447 is a clear example where a rather minor technical failure (temporary u/s of airspeed reading) led to a disaster due to very unfortunate human/machine interaction and interpretation. To get that right is one of the main Tasks of a Pilot these days and should be trained thoroughly.
