No you are not going senile. Only a couple of year ago I was looking at training 737 pilots and they do what is says in the QRH - SWITCHES OFF. PLURAL. And they trained for multiple failures during loss of airspeed concurrent with stick shakers.
I had a discussion in that I suggested pulling the CB for the stick shakers once you knew it was a false warning but the answer was that "Boeing doesn't say that in the checklist". I would call that action airmanship though!
