An excellent start to addressing this "we will polish the raw data to improve your piloting experience" ... "oh dear we cannot fully polish, panic mode, warnings on, autopilot off, over to you" snafu.

As SLF can I ask how important these data corrections are, and why?
I can see it's a real problem if they are handling/safety issues; lose any probe from an increasing list and you're compromised.
But if it's "just" a commercial matter such as incremental fuel efficiency, losing it for the rest of the flight (after a rare probe failure) should be a non-event, especially for the pilots.
