Would you be so kind to provide reference to that?

The A320 alpha-protection mode incorporates features that can attenuate pilot sidestick pitch inputs. Because of these features, the airplane could not reach the maximum AOA attainable in pitch normal law for the airplane weight and configuration; however, the airplane did provide maximum performance for the weight and configuration at that time.

I beg to differ. This is specialist knowledge and if such a belief is held by a person that has no access to flight controls anywhere, anytime, (s)he absolutely can't be labeled as either dangerous or foolish. As these are anonymous forums the origins of the contributions may be opposite to what may be apparent. In fact the press may use it, or the unscrupulous, or sciolists, to elicit certain reactions.
Now if a real pilot would operate his aeroplane while believing it, that would be entirely different ballgame.
