Human factors can never be entirely eliminated as long as there are humans involved anywhere in the chain of activity related to a flight. The best you can do is to control the impact of a human error and create sufficient redundancies that a human error will be caught before it becomes potentially threatening.
By all accounts, this was a textbook case of that. There was a human error coding the nav database, but it was caught by the ECAM and therefore an RTO was executed to control the situation.
