I'm not following your reasoning as to why the example doesn't apply. Are you saying "you don't follow FDs" as something you shouldn't do? If so, I agree. Are you saying it as something that doesn't happen at inappropriate times? Then I disagree. They may or may not have realized the stall, that's something we can only speculate on. That they did not act properly on it, we know for for certain.
Even if they did realize it, that in no way prevents them from reacting to it the wrong way in the face of overwhelming urges (1. if in trouble, pull up, and 2. follow the FD)
If they did not, surely the FD commanding +8000 fpm would have acted as a contributor to their false information that is the basis of their failure to recognize it.
