If there were some way the BA038 crew could have been alerted to the magnitude of the problem early on, SFLY's theories might have mitigated the outcome. Unfortunately the onset of the problem was subtle and probably not recognized for 15-30 seconds - there is that long a time constant in the response of a 250 tonne aircraft.

The real world sometimes won't behave like the book.
