Please read my previous post. Look at the temperature change relationship with density altitude, then, look at how the aircraft would be affected if the TAT probe did ice up (a big if) with a change in temperature, then compare that to a natural change in outside air temperature. The time to change will be the enemy as far as the air data computers are concerned. What the ADC then instructs the A/T an A/P to do can be instrumental in how the airframe and engines maintain their integrity.
