Surely I'm not the only one reading "overachiever" here as a wry euphemism.

  Not really: person A is tasked with remeditating risk X (dangerous pitch-up at high AoA), persons B, C are tasked with remediating some other risks Y, Z, or just generally keeping an eye on the big picture. Now if person A is better than the others at pushing the needs of their particular target metric (or just more stubborn, a particularly easy form of "strength"), that plane will surely never crash due pitch up at high AoA, but maybe more likely due to other dangers that became more likely for the sake of never crashing from that pitch up problem that A was sent out to solve. This cost will be seen as a consequence of the weakness of B, C, not of the "strength" of A. The high-resolve powerplayer who pushes their assigned task ahead of big-picture concerns is the hero of ambitious middle management culture. We see that happen many times, just rarely in domains as deadly as aviation.
