It's a different approach certainly, and one that seems to work just as well. As I'm sure you're aware, you have to put the A320 a fair amount out of whack attitude-wise before the non-alpha related protections kick in.
The point I was making (albeit not very clearly) was that those early nay-sayers were adamant that an entirely computer-controlled flight control system could not be trusted under any circumstances, and were labouring under the misapprehension that the 777 didn't have one.
