I was assuming that the nose-down inputs didn't completely stop the climb, therefore the a/c is still trading speed for height (albeit at a slower rate) and thus increasing AoA.

Incidentally, you must have unbelievably sharp eyes if you can discern s/w in "3D view".
Was going by the "5" marker which the text states as s/w point. Looks to be between the climbs - but I admit there's not many pixels in it.

I should have been clearer that my post was merely conjecture, and the info we have at this point form BEA doesn't give sufficient detail or clarity to confirm it.
