My question is how, given the "confusers" - as you delightfully put them - were not in control of the aircraft after the loss of speed indication was detected, was the "thing" supposed to command a THS pitch-up? The autoflight system will have maintained a slight pitch up prior to disconnection, but nowhere near the angle the aircraft ended up at.
