G isn't anywhere near 1.65 apart from at the beginning of the climb
Correct. That's why the stab trim was allowed to continue trimming.
In Alt Law, with side stick free - the FBW computers will continue to move the elevators whilst attempting to hold the attitude whilst the speed washes off.
In ALT2, the auto stab trim continues despite exceeding Alpha Prot / Max.
The natural nose drop at the stall is masked by the above.
The "Stall Stall" warning is all that remains but is unfortunately turned off when IAS<60kts despite being airborne.

It's going to be one heck of a Human Factors course.
