Full automatic would not have allowed this.

Do you recall the Airbus demonstration disaster?
Low pass over the runway, and when the pilot advanced the throttles, the airplane "decided" that no, we're in landing configuration, so we're supposed to land.
Throttle levers moved to Max thrust, but engines did not respond, cuz the computer said so.
Brand new Airbus settled into the trees beyond the runway and exploded.
