As I understand it the system kept re-enabling itself and the pilots have to use so much force on the "stick" to correct flight that they assume it is stuck and go back to repeat the disabling procedure or conclude it is a different problem. The simulators they practice this on do not reproduce the force needed so even well trained pilots can get confused.
