I don't want to turn this into another Airbus/Boeing bash fest, but I suspect there is some cause/effect due to the pronouncements from Airbus (and others) that 'it's impossible to stall this aircraft'.
In an emergency, the human mind may not remember whatever qualifications may have been put on that statement - e.g. 'in the full up control mode'. He just remembers 'impossible to stall'.
With that in mind, if his brain was telling him it's 'impossible to stall', holding the stick full back while the aircraft drops like a rock (even with the "stall stall" warnings) is somewhat easier to understand.
Tell the pilot that there are anti-stall protections to 'help', but don't tell them they can't stall it because in the right circumstances, they
can stall it.
