A very strong and convincing scenario, Fox 3! I have often had similar thoughts about Colgan Air 3407 (the Buffalo NY crash). Both pilots unexplainably maintained their aircraft in a stalled condition during nighttime adverse wx, with unfamiliar a/s indications.

Flying the stall warning / unreliable airspeed procedures for the Take-Off/Go-Around phase of flight in a simulator, was probably their most practiced of the unreliable airspeed procedures. . .something to revert to when one’s head is locked and “tunneled” in a similar, but very different situation.

This incident certainly dramatizes that verbally identifying emergency procedures, drills, and cross-checks of attitude, ect, is of the utmost importance of such cockpit discipline.
