If pilots pushed forward, which is universally accepted as good idea when faced with upright stall, THS would follow.
This topic was already discussed a few pages back. From the FCOM:
When angle of attack protection is active, THS is limited between setting at entry in protection and 2° nose down (i.e. further nose up trim cannot be applied).
Basically, the idea was: why not do the same in Alt Law? (with the AoA protection remplaced by the Stall Warning, of course).
