But that's the point! A professional pilot misunderstood/was unaware of a new safety feature, despite their professional experience and continuous training.

So, is it really sane to put similar features in cars, where you get your driving licence at 16/18, and then that's it?

This also goes for the huge screens on the console. A pilot has been trained for each commercial aircraft model they fly to navigate their way around the numerous controls. But putting a tablet in front of an untrained driver? It sells well because it makes you feel as a pilot. But at the same time, it is a huge distraction and there is zero training to cope with it.






Ah I misread the comment as being about design quality rather than documentation and training.
