AoA on the PFD

Just a personal thought on this issue. The average airline pilot will never be in a situation where he has any use for AOA. In recent posts one pilot puts the stall at 12 deg, another at 18 or even more. If a pilot finds himself suddenly in a complex situation where AoA could be really useful, how quickly would his mental processes adapt to using an indication that he has never used before?
