It would have been better to give everyone the AoA indicator (misplaced though it is) and for AOA Disagree replace the graphic of the indicator with
AOA DISAGREE - after all with two AoA's you cannot present guaranteed correct information, and to use the old aphorism - "
no information is better than bad information"
