kind of missing the point, on the ATP incident, the AP stuck in and the controls split due to the pilots pulling on the column to overcome the AP, force of more than 50 lbs causes a "breakout" and the Standby control system activates, they did this to get rid of the stuck AP.

Aircraft is completely flyable with asymmetric Elevators, it was designed this way as a secondary control system
