Instrumentation error is less likely than stall

Doesn't it seem intuitive that if a 200t jet transport has an IAS of < 60kts (and WOW says the plane is in the air), then it MUST be stalled, regardless of the AOA reading?
"No, it is just as likely (or more so) to be an instrumentation error. "

This sentence is frightening : a pilot that doesn't believe his instruments because he doesn't believe he could have made a mistake is a fool, nearly dead.

Alway believe your instruments. An instrument IS more reliable than any pilot.

The A300 lost speed for less than one minute: all others instruments were available.
