Dozy, you keep coming back on how crews have been pulling back on controls all the way during stalls, but Airbus 'simply never countenanced the idea that a pilot would pull into a stall, keep pulling through the stall warning and pull *again* once the stall was established'.
Have to agree. Not only did AB countenance it, but they built the normal law protections to counter exactly that possibility.
Alternate laws are a failure condition, and 447 was several failure conditions down to the point that the protections were gone. At that point AB system designers didn't lose sight of the possible pilot behaviour, just that without valid airdata they can't build a system to help.
