Would not a superior set of aircraft systems allow a human pilot to quickly control and lift levers and deploy spoilers plus reversers.?
On that so called superior aircraft that was apparently not possible.
On a B733, for example, you can deploy reverser in the air below 10ft - although formally prohibited.
That means in that circumstance the pilot would have been able to deploy full reverse, even if the airplane was still in the "air" mode.
You also have a real speed brake lever, just pull fully and you'll get at least full flight spoilers.
When it comes to antiskid, it's an invaluable aid , but still it's something between our feet and the brakes, it's a device which
filters our intention of braking -> if it f##ks up, it can do more harm than good: we must be aware of that, as demonstrated by numerous incidents/accidents, and be
ready to turn it
off promptly.
