Can't really use that one to make the point.
Having completed a.a.m.p., I'd say I can make that point, sport.

Read the report or consider this analogy:

Departing a slush covered runway, the crew should make turns to the left and right on climbout to avoid refreezing of the contaminant on the aileron hinges.

Contrast that with "a pilot, doing EXACTLY as he was trained to do by the airline" completing barrel rolls on the departure climb...
