Of course I see the logic of protecting the aircraft from idiots as well - and we all know there are some out there.

Yah I do believe there might be a limit on banks. It is preety much idiot proof, but there are some very stupid people that still can screw it up. All the incidents usualy are to do with pilots who think the computer will fix any mistakes that they do, so the pilots just watch and wait for the computer to fix it.
