Thus for a probe failure, full understanding of the situational aspects might require a pilot to have experienced ‘the specific failure’. However, probes can fail for many reasons – with or without TOCWS implications, that’s one reason we call maintenance to determine the nature of the failure;- CRM, use all available resources, provided that they too have the required knowledge and know-how.

You already know that in the case of the LAPA flight: even though the TOW sounded all time, the pilots ignored it.
The comission who studied the accident stated that the pilots were not familiar with such kind of alarm, they had not enough experienced it before just to understand that they had to stop.
You are damn right...!
