I highly doubt that in the extreme stress of the situation, they could consider what control law they were in, anyway ... and from that to infer what's a good vs. bad idea to do with the pitch, with respect to the protections available. No, once the chips are down like that, and the person's looking at the world through a soda straw, all they will do is bring their ingrained habits and thought processes, at the most base level. No higher processing will occur. If those base actions are only to chase the flight director (because that's all the person has ever done, and that's their conception of "flying," then that's what they're gonna do. And if that flight directions is +6000 fpm, well there you have it.
Indoctrination is to emphasize that in alternate law with AP tripping you don't act out of a reaction and kill yourself but do nothing till you look at PFD and only do what is required. Unreliable speed is not repeatedly practiced. None of abnormal are repeatedly practiced to create a reaction. They are practiced to see what happens and what you have to do. Nothing should be done as a reaction because air is not a human habitat and invariably it will be wrong. What you do in the cockpit is a well considered action after positively orientating oneself. Otherwise demons like somatogravic illusions pop out with disastrous results.
