That's not what I meant. The choice I referred to has to consider the probabilities. How often happen incidents like the two described in post #46, and how often does an Airbus get into alternate law?
Perhaps we need to remind ourselves that in AF447 the airplane did not stall due to 'full back stick'. That took place half-a-minute after the airplane was stalled.
