Wainwright dealt in general terms with the issues, but seems to have ignored some of the FBW limitations that are inserted into the equation when not in Normal Law - see below.
I think you missed a bit of the intro:
It is not aimed at protected Fly-by-Wire aircraft.
There is no need for this type of continuation
training on protected aircraft, although a
general knowledge of the principles involved is
useful for every pilot.
Now, the document is 10+ yrs old, the work that went into it, 15yrs or more, since then we've had crashes like Perpignan and we know that it's perfectly possible to stall these a/c when things aren't working right, so maybe it's time to disagree with "There is no need...".
