Thank you for that, I agree that this would have prevented this incident. But I wonder how many crews actually operate to this standard these days. That's why I mentioned the Swiss cheese model a few posts back, you've described what amounts to one additional layer in this model but in this case all the other holes (and there were quite a few of them) lined up as well. I guess that on many flightdecks small deviations from this procedure for taking over have been accepted for many years and as we're getting away with it, we're forgetting the reason for doing it like this in the first place.
