aguadalte;
Yes...but the question is: did they have enough pitch command to put the nose down when the THS reached more than 13º nose up?
Perhaps you would like to discuss anything the TRE brought to your attention regarding trim control when other than in Normal Law.

You must have missed a fairly intense discussion that took place in AF447 Thread No.6, where we were privileged to have some well thought-out input from an experienced aerodynamics engineer.

To directly answer your question, the DFDR traces indicate that even when stalled and with low IAS, any SS ND resulted in the appropriate response.
