Sorry Chris but I just can't understand your thinking here as part of the procedure to present the Airbus at high AoA is specifically to inhibit A/THR to prevent Alpha Floor to spoil the demonstration.
How can you suggest the guy was waiting for Alpha-Floor to kick in when his initial intention was to prevent it to interfere in the first place ?
