Possibly, but there are times when it's better than others to do so - remember we're talking edge cases here.

One thing I should have said is that ECAM is there to help the flight crew diagnose technical problems and occasionally suggest remedies to those technical problems - it was never intended as a guide to how the aircraft should be flown.

@mm43 - Feasibly, but how far would you trust it? Remember that the inertial sensors could have problems simultaneously... As a "computer guy" I'd still be more inclined to trust a human pilot with a pitch/power chart.
