> After watching tons of Mentour Pilot videos (who, by the way, covered [0] this incident) I am convinced that this feature shouldn't exist at all.
There is some selection bias at play here. We don't know how many situations happened where averaging the input was the right thing to do and avoided an accident, as Mentour Pilot does not make videos about those.
I'm not saying averaging is good. I have no idea. But a number of videos about crashes (which I watch and think are awesome) are not a good reason to form beliefs.
> I don't think that I'm smarter than people who originally designed this system.
This sentence says one thing, the other sentences in your comment say the opposite. It certainly reads like you think you're smarter than those people. Which as far as I know could be true, no idea. My point is a disclaimer does nothing if you actually do the mistake you know you should avoid.
