The "THS at max NU" was a major immediate reducing - if not neutralizing - factor of the effectiveness of the "Elevators ND (even if at max ND)".

The "THS Neutral + Elevators ND" would have allowed an immediate more effective Elevators ND, compared with the "THS max NU + Elevators ND".

I do believe a better more explicit YOU ARE STALLED alerting system can be implemented. ...
On the Stall Warning, as it can be seen from my posts on the topic, we're on the same page.
