Well, if there was an asshole like you controlling that evening, the
outcome would have been no different. You probably would have called
him "stupid"
and a "bad pilot" on the way down.

But, if the controller was a normal individual, not a know it all, he
perhaps could have made a suggestion. IE: Do you have an autopilot? Can
you turn it on? Etc.
