A lot of posts here do not seem to have made that easy conclusion....
Coupling the stall warning to the IAS is clearly a problem. This cross dependency needs to be eliminated. If you lose/degrade IAS <60kts then you lose the stall warning! But when you lose IAS you need a stall warning more than ever. The only work around is to select the AoA display.
