Anybody that thinks that is a bad thing has rocks in their head.
Are you saying that those pilots "had rocks in their heads" because the Airbus FBW would not let them flare before impact with the runway?

From post #7 "The cause of the accident was the activation of the angle of attack protection system which, under a particular combination of vertical gusts and windshear and the simultaneous actions of both crew members on the sidesticks, not considered in the design, prevented the aeroplane from pitching up and flaring during the landing."
