I'd say this is why they are half-baked : human integration was not thouroughly thought of in the design. When I speak of overriding, I mean human overriding.

This is something I think Boeing had got right with its manual overrides : when you design critical systems, you need human backup schemes, but you can go further and make these backup tightly integrated with the rest of the (highly automated) system.

That's pretty obvious, given by the fact that the system was initially not even documented nor was the scenario allegedly available for training in the brand spanking new 787-MAX simulator.
