Not quite accurate. The presentation stated that the FDs indicated "slight nose-up" (presumably 5 degrees) at the point of Stall Warning activation. If they were indeed indicating 5 degrees then the FDs would have been ordering an initial small nose-up command followed by maintaining the 5 degree attitude. What was in fact commanded by the PF was a nose-up to almost 15 degrees within five seconds - way in excess of what the FD was displaying.
