And I guess I'd also say that people temporarily being overwhelmed and getting stupid happens...and the events AFTER they stalled but were seemingly unaware that they had stalled (the attitude was halfway normal!).
I guess when a computer control system is designed to make an airplane act NOT like an airplane goes haywire you can't be sure what you are seeing or what to do to help the situation.
For a computer system that helps an airplane act like an airplane- and it goes haywire- the human beings still know to treat it like an airplane.
