Hmmmm, sounds a little like a whitewash. "Happened just once" in so many
millions flight hours etc. - we all here know what this means.
This clearly is a programming error - and not one which is to be caught
by testing, rather the programmer must be good enough to not allow it
happen by design, during planning.

On the "automata are better than humans" from other posts - if they are
better and humans cannot override them why are there any humans at all
in the cockpit? I know if I were to fly something I would want to be
in control when I want to be, although of course I would make use of
all utilities available as long as they work OK.
