Most importantly, the fly-by-wire did not "lock up" - and the plane did not
"think" it was landing and prevent the application of TOGA power. The
accident was classic pilot error, no fault was found with the FBW system...

Since the flight recorders were tampered with, all conclusions
concerning that flight are suspect.

Furthermore, if the FBW system were truly as reliable as Airbus
claims, the aircraft would never have crashed--the computers would
have prevented it. Airbus aircraft don't allow pilots to override the
computers, which means that this crash must have been a
computer-generated crash no matter how you look at it.
