I would argue that had this rule been in place, there's a good chance he would have spent a year or two teaching stalls to primary students and occasionally taking the controls when one got out of hand. Would that experience have prevented him from pulling back at the stick shaker, or overriding the stickpusher with 60 to 120 pounds of force for the last 12 seconds of the flight? Hard to say for certain, but I think it'd be less likely.
