Power and attitude

I have now read many statements that the correct action should have been "pitch and power" at cruise level. If this is really true can any of the knowledgeable posters explain to me why autopilot disconnect was so urgent when speeds started to become strange. Could it not have continued on by simply keeping pitch and power with some noisy kind of alarm to the pilots. They could then have chosen to keep it on or disconnect it at once. The same might be valid for the flight law change.
I am not a pilot so I am looking forward to good arguments from some of you
