Indeed so... Neither the PF, nor the Flight Law, was paying any attention to the Stall Warning. There was no Alpha Prot, at this stage, so the computer is exonerated? PF was sure the SW was spurious, but he is not excused?

I suppose....I cannot disagree.....

Question remains though, would it have moved in the same timeframe without the help of NU SS input? Was elevator travel already maxed by the task to maintain 1 g without SS input or did the SS NU input aggravate the situation.

I think yes, of course, the elevator has lost authority to climb further, so THS comes in, not to trim, but to command

It was 48 seconds after Stall that the Nose finally fell, thirty five degrees.
that is quite a potent control, that THS and elevator partnership..

Stall @ 2:10:57, Nose drops, 2:11:45....
