Thank you, Rouli. Well stated.

I flew two jets with AoA limiters, and I never failed to notice what was happening, nor did I depend on the limiters to "save" me because I flew into a dire situation.

It's called airmanship, piloting skills, knowing your own limits and that of the jet. The FBW systems can only do so much to protect you from yourself. It is not supposed to be a system to protect you from the results of your poor judgement.

Going back to the peanut gallery, now.
