I suppose from my PAX view, given that everything has been hashed over so many times, looking back on it all, it was crew action that caused the zoom climb and crew action that failed to recover even though simulations showed recovery was possible with 10k ft loss. Elevator control was present despite THD at limit. No horizon, counter intuitive non-latching stall warning limit compound an erroneous mind set focussed on a presumed inability to stall but not in that control law. Actual control law and limited protections clearly displayed for eyes that looked and could focus. Bad day at the office, maybe bad night the night before.
