I suspect you'd understand it better if you didn't have such a problem with it since 1988. If you hate the Airbus FBW flightdeck so much, why haven't you transferred to Boeing?

No it does not. The numbers are threre to trigger the overspeed warning *if the numbers are valid*. The numbers at that time were not valid, and so if the design flows the way I think it does, the overspeed warning is inhibited.
