Well, I would be careful with such conclusions. I asked that question before, but to my knowledge stall warning is based on AOA sensor, not air speed. And crusing at that altitude you dont need anything close to "stop an aircraft" to approach stall, you only need to lose a "few kts", which could well be the result of even only a moderate pull up maneuver.
So for me there is no reason to doubt that even the first stall warnings were correct.

...pull up? Excuse me. I have no idea where you get that from,,,,but you will hardly find anyone in the world proposing that as 'stall procedures', except those with suicidal tendencies...
