That was not 2s but 4s and you could predict that happening even before that. Does not seem like especially dangerous situation when you approach autopilot as GP does.

Totally disagree. Someone was literally killed there. Realistically “2 seconds” could be understating the length of the distraction, plus it takes you a certain amount of time to mentally re-engage and understand what is going on. Especially in a weird situation like that.
