I think the point of this argument is that when ever there is an accident of some sort, someone did something wrong. There are some accidents that were almost impossible to prevent and don't fall under one of the know operational pitfalls. IF the cause of this most recent accident was what it seems to be, then that accident could have been prevented very easily. The decision making process was not all that complex......Aviate, Navigate, Communicate. Three simple steps. Now I wasn't there and I cannot speculate, but if that was the cause......well that could have probably been prevented with a little experience. But in the argument of the airline management "Experience is too expensive".

Think about the recent Hudson River Accident. Preventing that accident would have been pretty hard but it was experience that ultimately prevented the catastrophe. Someone that had never had any real aerodynamic experience my have delayed their decision making and ditched somewhere a little less forgiving.
