I've once had the opposite experience: a blocked static port during descent, causing unreliable airspeed on the captain's PFD. In that stage of the flight it wasn't really difficult to figure out what was happening, but the stress factor was still high due to the false aural warning (continuous loud clacker).

So I can understand that the same failure during take-off must be really stressful, especially since I'd rather experience a false overspeed warning than a false stickshaker. Having a distinct impression (even temporarily) of stalling near the ground must be pretty nerve wracking.
