Agreed, the design was not good at all. Indeed, they now added a compulsory formation in the pilots curriculum for this kind of situation (degraded control mode). However, the pilots took a very big risk when they said "On ne va pas se laisser emmerder par des cunimbs." (We won't be pissed off by cumulonimbi!) and got straight into the storm while others were all rerouting around. Ego kills.
