I am not trying to prove you wrong but I am trying to understand the protection. Speed brakes will retract if low speed stability is available but I am talking about alternate2 with low speed stability not available. I am quoting below from A330 FCOM which says same thing as A320:


SPEEDBRAKE CONTROL


The pilot controls the speed brakes with the speed brake control lever. The speed brakes involve
spoilers 1 to 6. Speed brake extension is inhibited, if:


‐ Maneuver Load Alleviation (MLA) is activated


‐ Angle-of-attack protection is active


Low speed stability is active


‐ At least one thrust lever above MCT


‐ Alpha floor is activated.


If an inhibition occurs when the speed brakes are extended, they automatically retract and stay retracted until the inhibition condition disappears, and the pilot resets the lever.
