Associating Nose Down with STALL is counter indicated.

I am NOT AB Rated, so,

A look at # 1119 shows what CAN happen with an experienced Captain - on a Sim. before it was frozen.

A THS reading at this point might have been interesting , too. ( Who ever looks, normally ?)

Perhaps a repeated STALL warning becomes just another noise, even before the 72 repeats. A changing voice with vocal pitch rising, might draw attention, as well !
