Does that make the pilot a passenger or any less in control? No it does not.
The AT helps pilots in turns by adding power but as far as I know, so does the AT in the 777. The pilot's inputs are translated into control surface deflections based on the airplane speed and maximum allowed deflection, same as in a 777.
The Airbus goes where pilot tells it to, this trotting around of platitudes does this board no favours and I think it's fair to demand exact proof of exactly what it is you talk about next time you do and show the exact differences to the Boeing philosophy, otherwise it's just that: talk and platitudes
