For what i read and heard from an airbus captain, the joysticks on both sides of the cockpit are not interlocked in a way they mirror the other's position - one does not repeat the position of the other one.
I still wonder why someone would install this "solution" in an airliner, but ..
So one stick untouched being laid back at pull position, the other will probably not react to any input.
While pilots are trained though and know this, this seems to be one of the explanations how this situation was possible to happen.
