I did. I was not clear in my response. What I meant was:
You cannot override the stall protection in normal law. While they were able to hold altitude they weren't close to the stall. Before that at higher altitude and during the turns they made, the flight envelope protection pushed the nose down, and no amount of pull would have kept the nose up into a stall, so I had an issue with
"the stall protection could be countered by aft stick".
