If people think the T7 won't behave strangely or contrary to pilot command if given duff data, have a look at this article (h/t Clandestino - my bold):

What happened on flight MH124 - Nation | The Star Online

According to the report by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau released on its website last Friday, the pilots were alerted to a low airspeed warning at an altitude of 11,582m.

At the same time, the primary flight display indicated that the plane was turning left, while the speed display showed that the plane was “going too fast and too slow simultaneously”.

The plane then pitched up to 12,497m and the indicated airspeed decreased from 500km/h to 292km/h.


At this point, the stall warning and stick shaker devices were activated.

...

The report revealed that Capt Norhisham then disconnected the autopilot and lowered the plane’s nose to prevent the stall.

However, the aircraft’s automatic throttle, which should have been off, came on again and compensated by increasing speed.

Capt Norhisham countered this by pushing the thrust levers to the idle position but the aircraft pitched up again and climbed another 610m.
EDIT - Clarification: Clandestino mentioned the incident, not the article itself.
