Then you have departed from reality.

Jesus Christ John, this is ridiculous...I've read a lot about
this accident and agree with the consensus that the a/c did all
any a/c could have done given the parameters this not too bright
bulb asked it to do.

You mean the pilot stalled the wing?

Then you are well advanced from Weiss' understanding.

How in hell could the system have done more than, as JW
explained, hold the AoA at the max lift point just short of stall
while the autothrottle system applied max power

The autothrottle only knows land and go around in the situation we are
discussing and the pilot was beyond the point of either flight mode. The
operator has to follow the POH, as it is part of the type Certificate.
