Out of my league, but 737er's comments are in agreement with the accident report Megan referenced:
"The report concluded that lowering the pitch attitude eliminated the altitude margin necessary to escape the wind shear."
"Flight 1016 could have overcome the wind-shear encounter if the flight crew had executed the wind-shear escape maneuver (maximum effective pitch attitude and maximum ‘firewall’ power) immediately after the initial airspeed decay."
The microburst video was most interesting- exactly as described in text, but words don't compare with seeing it happening.
