I would think pilots of any significant flight hours would have better spacial awareness and not be blindly obedient to just instruments. They are indicating they recovered from the dive (thus back on manual, not autopilot) and began climbing...and the failing sensors caused them to pull up too sharply and stalled the plane. Perhaps they had no time to exercise spatial awareness (visibility issues?) that would tell them not to exceed a certain angle or a stall is possible. If instruments begin to go haywire, relying on other instruments should be suspect. But then you throw in the time compression and factor in all of the things happening in the plane and it seems it is a case of cascading mechanical and instrument failures that presented an unrecoverable situation for the crew. I am not sure how much icing was at fault, it doesn't appear it affected aerodynamics otherwise they would not have pulled out of the dive, but it must have been enough to cause the pitot tubes to ice up and give faulty readings. They will need to look at overall design improvements and procedures and not just a better black box!
