At last the voice of common sense.

I am honestly dumb-struck at your ignorance of your own subject.

Higher g will only offer advantage in the first few metres of a pull-up, the ability to pull max alpha will give more advantage in almost any conceivable GPWS scenario, something which is much, much easier in an alpha protected FBW type. Numerous studies have shown that such aircraft will massively outperform conventional types in GPWS pull ups.

If you pull seven g then you don't need to hit the mountain, you will have destroyed your aircraft all by yourself.
