Re (b), QED.
This point regarding loss of protections including stall protection was stressed over and over again throughout the three courses I had on the Airbus A320, A340 & A330. Flight in the Alternate Laws was taught and practised. Both the A340 & A330 simulators were sensitive in roll but moreso, I am told by those who have flown it in Alternate law, than the airplane.
The VF article link has been posted earlier, above. Good article.
