Here you're conflating two utterances in the CVR transcript which are over 20 seconds apart. The PF's reference to displays is at 02:12:01. The Captain's statement, which in the English version reads:

"The wings to flat horizon the standby horizon"

does not occur until 02:12:23.

Why would the Captain order his crew to arrest roll oscillation ("wings to flat") and make immediate reference to the horizons if the horizons weren't working?

It was the actual text of the Pilot, not a surmise from me? In the presence of actual proof that the panel was goofed
Proof? It looks more like a subjective reading of the CVR transcript to fit your own prejudice.

you claim the ADI was fine, simply because it wasn't singled out? What unmitigated, or ignorant, gall.
No, I'm saying that at no point are the ADIs referred to as not working, and in fact it makes more sense to suggest that they were working given the Captain's orders. I'm not saying I'm right, but a dispassionate reading of the transcript is more in favour of the ADIs working than not.
