Really? As far as I can see, only the instruments related to pitot data could be considered unreliable, that is until the point that the AoA became so extreme that various anomalies that would have messed up any display reliant on air data, mechanical or digital.
With a carefully designed back-up of dependable instruments such as gyros and inertial navigators, and others, pilots would not be without believable data.
Where do you think the data in a glass cockpit comes from? The glass cockpit instruments are *driven* by gyros and inertial sensors, and they were telling the truth the whole way down.
