I don’t think that’s settled. AF447, an almost perfectly functioning plane, was jettisoned immediately into the ocean because the flying pilot completely forgot about basic flight physics and that without automation, you can’t just always increase angle of attack and expect to go up. The guy spent 99% of his time flying normal law, under automation protection, and when that shield was undone he resorted to his gut instincts, operating like the shield is there, when he was panicking.
