Aerocat et al. Alternative action for alerts might be plausible, but any situation where the alert or warning questions your judgement does not warrant further use of judgement.

Note all of the incidents, but particularly # 7, re the crew’s judgement of flying level or re-establishing a safe approach path.
framer, I recall a simulator trial at an operators conference where pilots were expecting a Pull Up warning; the purpose was to evaluate differences in procedure application and timing. The scenario was at min effective timing for the equipment – no pre alerting (yes it can happen, see incident #8)
Half of the pilots did not survive the encounter. The deviance was divided equally between a late/slow reaction or less attitude/speed trade than required/available.
