At at least 60 knots forward airspeed we can suppose that a A330 (if in the air) is stalled (or no more what is called "flying")
Can we agree on this ? (I suppose yes)
yes, the disagreement is for compliance of the stall warning

§ 25.207 Stall warning
(c) Once initiated, stall warning must continue until the angle of attack is reduced to approximately that at which stall warning began
More over, FBW algorithm does not meet the Federal Aviation Regulations Part 25 for static longitudinal stability,
which requires a pull force to achieve and maintain a steady state speed decrease relative to the trim speed and vice versa Also, after having released the stick, the speed has to return to the trim speed.
Therefore, for this reason, I strongly believe that the awareness of the crew with respect to the stabilizer position is vital, as well the active sidestick that provides awareness for out of trim and the mushy feeling at low speed or stall.
