Human factors may have been a contributing issue, but it seems like the root cause was the design/implementation.
In most major catastrophes/mishaps, there's a number of proximate causes (i.e. the pilots didn't do 'X') that 'could' have prevented the issue. But focusing on these to the distraction of focus on the root cause is a sure way to increase the risk of another failure.
Installing a larger oil pan won't fix your car for long if the root cause is a bad filter design.
