AF447

"Help me AB guys.
Had the pitot heaters not been frozen over the AB laws would not have allowed the AF crew to crash into the ocean. Do I have that correct?"
Hi aterpster,
Yes, we've rather shifted off topic... Probably in our efforts to increase our understanding of Airbus FBW, and its evolution, and thereby the mechanisms of FBW and CRM that were involved in AF447. Sometimes the shortest questions are the toughest to provide a short and straight answer! As none of the experts has picked up your question, I'll give it a go.
In your middle sentence, if we replace the clause "...would not have allowed the AF crew to crash into the ocean" with "...would not have allowed the a/c to enter and maintain a stall, even with the sidesticks fully back", the sentence would be correct. As it is, it's plainly wrong.
