MFS,
My position is that everybody has to learn something from an accident, and the Manufacturer is not to be excluded.

It takes absolutely nothing to trigger an AOA DISCREPANCY ECAM MSG meaning :

"Eh guys, our AoA probes disagree, the probabilities are on our side, we believe the faulty probe has been identified and you can resume normal operation. In the meantime, as we have been proved wrong a few times already ... if your intention was to test the system today, don’t do it, and if by adventure you was unlucky to need maximum performance of the system, don’t rely too much on our protections today, but simply use your own abilities a bit like if you were flying a 737"

Don’t you agree such message could positively influence a crew and therefore improve the level of awareness and safety ?
