I still don't have an answer to my question, which is somewhat along the lines of yours:
"Is the actuating of the control surfaces proportional to the duration of a control SS command", which could also be a contributor to the amplifying of control surface action, if the perception of the control surface action by the PF is delayed.
Why do you think that system would bother to isolate any compromised ADR channel - they are continuously monitored in real time - beside for avoiding that wrong imputs would be used by the system flight controls?
Alternate law 2 is just doing that; C* law is modified; imputs are treated differently with less gain (meaning that default values are used instead of real air data). There is no proportionality between surface deflection and stick imputs until direct law. Those imputs are translated into load-factor demand, and system will deliver them up to the limits (2.5g/-1 g in clean conf.).
