Is there a conflict? The crews that performed the recovery in the simulator did have "a good comprehension of the situation" and of the "manoeuvre that would have made it possible to perhaps recover control of the aeroplane." The engineers that calculated the manoeuvre did make BEA's caveat.
EDIT: In this type of accident the main problem is that the crews do not understand the situation. Maybe there is merit in developing a system that
reliably detects a stall and announces that condition unequivocally to the crew. Would an AoA indicator be sufficient?
