A lot of use of the term " recovery from an upset condition " has been used, both by the NTSB and by users of this thread.
One of my points is that I think there may be a case that this was not an "upset condition" - a la remarks of the Board member who stated that the inputs were inappropriate - but Molin, for some reason, thought it was. It is very unlikely that you are going to get a full upset at low altitude at 250 knots/ 1g flight/ climbout due to wake turbulence in a heavy jet, but perhaps the training Molin received did not instill in him this idea.
Of course, AOA indicators might have helped him realise that the A-300 was nowhere near a departed condition on the wings, rendering aileron inputs secondary. If you fly through wake turb in the 777, which has AOA on the PFD, you'll see very little deflection towards red, even clean/heavy.
