Yes.....BUT.....in this particular situation, I think they would have survived with Direct Control of their aircraft rather than some computer.
Let me agree with this particularly with regard to the aircraft pitch trim system.
An aircraft that keeps trimming the force off the stick/wheel as you slow might be convenient, but it loses natural speed stability and requires increased attentiveness/awareness in manual flight-or an automatic speed control system.
Any aircraft that keeps automatically trimming nose up after the stall AOA is reached has a fouled up design.
