I am guessing it is much more than that. This can't be the first time an A320 has inadvertently entered a thunderstorm.
The weather avoidance is just one hole in the swiss cheese. Also they might have penetrated an exceptional CB: super cooled water blocking sensors, huge ice particles, lightning flash, extreme turb, 100kt+ updrafts?
