Would you immediately react accordingly (switch off AP, pull back on power, pull up nose - or whatever you do) or would you say "Oh balls! The fricken computer's on the fritz again!".
This suggests that one problem with current training is the (understandable) focus on situations that -do- require quick reaction such as failure at V1.

The 'muscle memory/quick action critical' learned though is likely carried over to more benign situations leading to immediate reaction rather than contemplation.

Combined with the high reliability of modern systems that diminish the "fricken computer's on the fritz again" thought since failures are rare and net result is what is being discussed on this thread.
