With you on Asiana but the point I was putting here also included the fact that failure to follow the F/D component of the system in manual flight will defeat most of these protections.
If my memory serves me correctly, back 'when' there was significant discussion about installing a back up system that compared KCAS to the airplane's configuration and therefore not having to disturb the basic operating parameters of the A/T or the AFCS system algorithms.
That approach did not get a jersey but Airbus considered and acted on that approach, amongst others including 'attitude' protection during A/P Altitude capture, following Nick Warner's (RIP) unfortunate crash of the A330 in 1994(?).
Ironically enough, the VERY well respected Captain Warner had previously been the lead on the B757 programme at BAC and it is fair to assume, knew full well the type of shortcomings the A330/A340 A/T system would need to address.
