Full automatic would not have allowed this.

Technically one of those pilots actually shut off the fuel switches. Last I saw they were investigating it as possibly intentional, regardless it’s gross negligence at a minimum.

But you’re assuming perfection from the computers as well, and that’s not always the case. How do you program a computer for every possible variable when sometimes things happen that have never happened before? Particularly for something as complex as a passenger airliner?
