On what evidence do you base this assertion?

(And how does a decades-old issue regarding throttle control on Audi cars have anything to do with AF447?)

Right, but as Gysbreght says (and as I'm sure you already know), its use is not recommended above FL250 because the constants used for calculating stall regime become less accurate above that altitude. This is not restricted to the BUSS system, but is likely to be similar on other builders' systems (including Boeing's).
