Hi Lyman.
I'm sorry, you recall wrong here.
High AoA (Stall) protection has priority over other protections (IIRC, I stand to be corrected and hope I will not on that topic).
Stall warning has priority over other warnings.
Why? Because stall was deemed more dangerous.

Hi HN39.
AFAIK, they have to freeze at the same time and in the same manner if to fool failure detection mechanisms (comparing in real time values from 3 probes).
My point was: such an event in real conditions is extremely unlikely, that's why detection are based on that assumption. Don't you agree?
