My guess is that the PF confused them.
He didn't realise his sidestick input had caused the initial upset. During this time the PNF had his head down and the captain was in the bunk. Neither knew what he was doing, the reasonable assumption being that he was competent and not likely to make such a mistake.
Stall warning sounds, PNF head up asks what's going on, PF said 'Nothing I did' and this was accepted. Then total suspicion on aircraft which was throwing messages at them making it look like systems were in total meltdown. Invalid airspeeds assumed to be behind stall warning, aircraft descending rapidly, natural approach is to pull up.
Basically, the PF was believed instead of aircraft.
