The delay I was referring to is the internal DFDR delay - maybe quarter to half a second, no more than that. It was simply to explain why it might be read that there was a whole second between his announcement of taking control and evidence that he did so.
Please don't put words in my mouth. I did NOT say I don't care about "WHY". On the contrary, I care very much and I am amazed to hear your opinion that most professional pilots don't care either! I just happen to think that professional opinion outweighs that of enthusiastic amateurs every time.
Most people would agree that the pilots did not understand what was happening to them, but not perhaps with your argument on the reason.
