You'll let it here because you are not interested at looking further than a FBW induced upset. Now, there are already some pretty good clues that AP did not order a pitch up and was possibly never fooled.
1) AP kicked off whith ADR faults without a single ADR previously rejected (it would take a double probe simultaneous failure to fool the system).
2) It could not have been re-engaged later because this fault was never cleared until before impact (RTL).
