Can we agree on this ?
If all the sensors are functioning normally, sure - but you have to design for the possibility that they won't be. Prior to this accident, an apparent IAS of less than 60kts would likely have been considered far more likely to be a sensor failure than an actual occurrence (as tdracer alludes to above). So, no, can't necessarily agree.

Aside from the fact that there's nothing to suggest this in the slightest on the CVR.

Airbus missed the opportunity to apply that Just Culture :

The majority of the contents of the "Red OEB" you say should have been published in your linked post were already covered in the UAS procedure included as part of the report (Annexe 06):

What difference would the OEB have made (AFAIK a "Red" OEB would have required an AD - something which AF would probably have pushed back on)?
