They had bugged a Vref of 114 kts, but the shaker went off at 130 kts!

I am not suggesting for one moment that the sole correct reaction to the shaker would have been to turn off the INCR REF switch. The correct recovery procedure as always, is to reduce AOA and add power. I merely note that in this instance switching off the INCR REF switch would have been a pretty effective means of reducing AOA.
