Gentlemen, you are discussing the dynamics of aeroplane falling with low speed and extreme, never-before-achieved AoA for the type, using assumptions valid for normal, unstalled, flight. Your theories might be correct... by pure chance.

The crew was not prepared to fly the beast outside the envelope they were trained to do
Why should they be prepared to fly the beast outside the envelope? Key issue is how the aeroplane got out of the envelope in the first place.

Maybe a cosmic test pilot would have seem what was happening and done real fine
Maybe there are not test pilots but rather ordinary line jocks out there who would keep on flying reasonable pitch+power when faced with unreliable airspeed. Does anyone know any other case of loss of all IAS on A330?

The consistency, magnitude and frequency of manual inputs post-disconnect occlude any reasonable conclusion as to what the aircraft would have done if left to it's own devices.
Yup. If only we had some other case of A330 losing all airspeeds for comparison. If only...
