For this accident, if the GA system design contributed, is this the major contributor, or is the human because of the weakness in system operation, or jointly; or due to documentation, certification,

If there is an expectation that TOGA will activate the auto-thrust and save the day it might encourage an 'expectation' and thus less monitoring. If the thrust s always a manual application (with perhaps an auto back-up for low speed?????) would this increase better monitoring? i.e. has automation improved safety in this respect?

I understand the conundrum of the condition statement.
