You can't expect a crew to handle an emergency situation in which they have not been trained.
Why not? Flight crew don't get qualified by opening the right cereal boxes, although this crew's handling of the situation is questionable, other aircraft/crew have had situations which were unforeseen and have dealt with them.
So in effect they were trained, albeit not for this specific instance. However, if flying the Bus makes you dependent on the inbuilt protection to the extent that you can't recognize a deep stall regardless of instrumentation then the training wasn't sufficient.
