I have agreed with everything you have said, but for the benefit of the uninitiated, it's probably worth pointing out that attempting a go-around WITHOUT (at some stage!) pushing the TOGA buttons, puts you in a (completely different) world of hurt!!!

Going around after landing is something practiced, (if ever?) once, for every 99+ go-arounds from DA. Though I fully accept it should be briefed moderately frequently.

Depending on how rigorously this crew were trained, it may not be too surprising they got it wrong?

Whichever way you look at it, the airline itself has some very significant questions to answer!
