I tend to go with 4468. Lack of manual skill has nothing to do with this accident which was due lack of knowledge of automation. Since absence of thrust caused the problem everybody is forgetting that GO levers have another function, to give FD guidance for GA. If you execute all go rounds manually then the FDs remain in approach mode they need to be ignored. Not a good way to fly, on another day in poor visibility some one may go down following them (already happened thrice in airbus). GA procedure after touch down is an exception and should be treated as such. The only remedy for lack of knowledge is to learn, practice and revise during every briefing. If you brief the GA procedure after touch down the PM will make sure you do it.
