Yes, and Airbus changed the logic in the face of the (decade old) Warsaw incident. The unfortunate TAM crew at Conghonas were getting wheelbraking to some degree, but minus the spoilers the braking action was insufficient.

This still doesn't answer the question of why one would pop the ground sensor CB (if there is such a thing) rather than the alarm CB, if one were simply trying to silence the alarms.

I'm quite prepared to accept I might have the logic wrong, but I think it's a bit unfair to state that I know nothing...
