Well, you're assuming that one of the symptoms was an unambiguous stall warning. I don't recall that it was written up in the trip log. from memory, I seem to recall the squawks were for an unreliable airspeed indication and an incorrect activation of the pitch trim. That's a little different than: "There we were, tooling along at M0.8, level at 360 and and suddenly the stall warning sounded and the stick shaker activated." That pretty clearly points to a possible AoA data problem, the way it was actually written up, much less so.
