Didn't you state somewhere else you were opposed to FBW? Kind of a

Not really. You can disconnect the autopilot if you don't like the
way it's behaving. You cannot disconnect fly-by-wire systems. You
can fight against a misbehaving A/P by manhandling the yoke or stick
yourself, but if a fly-by-wire system decides to ignore your
"suggestions," you're out of luck.
