Stability augmentation promises to give you even less control

I stall, a spin, a spiral dive (excessive pitch down and speed) - many
things - as long as they are also with NO PILOT INPUT - then is it not a
good idea for such a system to "do something".?

I suppose that's a good start, but when you write computer software, you have
to be way more specific ... and if you don't want to kill anyone, you also
have to be absolutely right.

A perfectly programmed computer might be able to do it, although I should
think it would also need mind-reading ability in order to determine the
pilot's intentions. But in any case, people write the software, so it's never
perfect--and that's the problem.
