What about the causes that motivated the thread opening? Any more known?

Remember the Air XL A320 that was being flight tested in Spain by Air NZ crews and crashed during stall testing due to frozen sensors. Ok, it was after power washing and water froze in a hidden area. It was unforeseen; but then how many accidents/incidents are caused by unforeseen matters? Still quite a few.
It's one of those issues with sensors & computers. Even in cars, a faulty sensor in a catalytic burner can cause the engine not to start. Things in FBW flight controls are more critical. How possible is it to by-pass such inhibiting sensors; if you can even trouble shoot to the root cause?
