Very much so goldfish.

The only difference is that in an Airbus if you do recognise the problem once in the "indicated" overspeed it will not let you lower the nose until you are in alternate law either via "abnormal attitude" or you force it into alternate law.

I think Airbus should look at some sort of system that will compare actual performance at altitude compared to calculated performance with the idea that the aircraft will automatically drop into alternate law if there is a large discrepancy.
