Yes that appears the point.
Not knowing this system was embedded in the aircraft's architecture is one thing. Given the crew may have expected a possible airspeed disagree, it is plausible that they never knew what was at play.
It is very easy to sit there like that idiot Bryon Bailey did and blame a crew.
Imagine a crew working their darnedest to save an aircraft that did its level best to kill everybody, and never knowing what the problem was, nor the system causing it, for the manufacturer and the regulator deemed it not necessary to tell them.
