2. In the new BEA note, why the first stall warnings at the initial event since stall is based on AoA?
Could it be because of this:

From 2 h 10 min 05 , the autopilot then auto-thrust disengaged and the PF said "I have the controls". The airplane began to roll to the right and the PF made a left nose-up input. The stall warning sounded twice in a row.
Previous more knowledgeable folk have stated the stall AoA angle at FL350 is not a large number (my brain has 6 degrees stuck there, but I am far from sure).
