Granted, but in that case the Birgenair jet never made it to cruise level. While it doesn't satisfy all of the criteria Bubbers set, it satisfies the important ones - namely doing precisely the wrong thing minus speed indications and with autopilot behaving erratically. It also puts a dent in the "other pilot would see the inappropriate control deflection and take over", because in that case the F/O did not. The Stony Point NWA B727 was at FL 248 when exactly the same thing happened.
