@gums:
You must know by now that I have the deepest respect for you. That said, you're not really saying anything you haven't said before. We covered the rationale behind the law changes repeatedly long ago - if you don't like it, that's all good, but it doesn't make the implementation bad.
Our FLCS trusted the AoA vanes all the way unless deemed FUBAR for a few seconds.
Well yes, because it was a fighter and the expected operating parameter ranges of those AoA vanes was significantly different. The current flight control law has absolutely no effect on the validity of data from the AoA vanes on the A330, so I'm at somewhat of a loss to understand the point you're making.
