That is why I used "spurious" rather than false. I thought 215kt and 4 degrees would likely calculate into an imminent stall, if stall warning pays attention to speed at all. (Off hand I'd be surprised if it didn't in my non-pilot naivete.)
That suggests that things broke down with that stall warning at 37500 feet. The PF appears to have made an inappropriate action, full throttle and pull up - the apparently prescribed action to take before a stall. But it never seemed to help but the PF kept the stick back fatally long even as the thrust was, at some time, reduced to idle. It was at idle at 2 h 12 min 02, and TOGA at 2 h 10 min 51. That's all I can extract from the report.
It would also be nice to know how long and how much "up" was asserted at 2 h 10 min 05. That could tell a lot more of the story just in itself.
