ECAM isn't meant to be used in that way - it will give advice on technical issues and parameters that should not be exceeded, but it can't tell the pilots how to fly the aircraft. Call it "denying info" if you like, but no other airliner does anything similar, and for all it's worth I don't think it should.

What it *will* say is "ADR FAULT" or "ADR DISAGREE", the latter of which implies strongly that UAS procedures should be followed.
