How about a case where the pilots, after having been trained about the perils of spurious MCAS activations, would get an airspeed indication failure (unreliable airspeed) followed by real stall warning (generated by the AOA vane), and a justified MCAS activation, but that they would misinterpret as a spurious MCAS activation. They would do the runaway trim drill, meaning trim against the down stab, and turn off the stabilizer switches and pull on the stick.
Would they be able to recover from the stall that would follow ?
