That is assuming the pilots involved understand what went wrong. Perhaps they do not. If in their minds they did everything right, followed the correct approach, and only suddenly at the last moment saw they were on the taxiway, they may have no explanation for what happened. If they then go through the procedures they followed on the night of the incident, they will end lined up on the runway, because that's where they expected to be, and thought they were.
