I like your logic, but I had understood that he got overenthusiastic in the dive, overspeed past VNE, got blade stall, and consequently jack stalled.

just my personal reminder note: its an error to think that dual hydraulic have twice the actuator thrust power, two piston on the same shaft (with pressure equaly regulated for the two pistons), does not double the thrust.
only higher hydraulic pressure can do that and actually the dual hydraulic version has a slightly inferior hydraulic pressure.
single hydraulic: 40 bars
dual hydraulic: 35 bars
