Without having a Normal Acceleration in the picture, is there any indication that in order to being able to quickly and effectively react and have full control of the control surfaces at Stall, would have been better achieved by being in Direct Law?
Again, I would have to defer to proper pilots, but from a strictly aerodynamic point of view I can't see any advantage in being in Direct Law other than the obvious fact that there would not have been any autotrim deflection of the THS - something that IMHO needs sorting anyway.
It depends a bit on where you consider 'Stall' to be. By the time the stall was fully developed the actual details of how the system would respond to control inputs are far less important than the fact that there were no control inputs. If you are considering the actual entry to stall in the first place then the better pitch damping given by Alternate might have been a factor for good.
I don't think much of the harmonisation of roll and pitch given by Alt2, but I suspect that a 'double whammy' of direct law in both axes might have led to even worse results. But I trespass into pilot territory
