"At some point they are discussing whether they are ascending or descending, while the stall alarm is blaring throughout. I don't think anyone will consider making the stall alarm go "Stall! Losing attitude!"."

Yep, but your missing the fact that they didn't believe it was actually stalled or about to stall. They thought that was impossible since normally the fly-by-wire protects against it, so that warning can safely be ignored. That is why they ignored it. It's kind of like the boy that cried wolf. Normally, the warning can be ignored and so when it started sounding when it really mattered, they ignored it. Maybe interlacing "Stall! Stall Protection Disengaged!" (when in alt mode) and "Stall! Push Stick Forward!" (when stick back) is the ideal solution.
