I think that you're right that the aircraft did perform well under the circumstances. However, the criticism was of the decision that BA made, not in the performance of the afflicted aircraft, and was well-deserved.
If the plane had actually made it to its intended destination, I might be willing to cut BA some slack. It didn't, so I'm not.
