The aoa system was put in place specifically to keep pilots from stalling planes. By design, it has to override manual controls. This is like saying ABS shouldn't override the brakes on a car.

All it really had to do was decrease the sensitivity of the controls not override it. Once the manual controls were pulled back all the way the computer should have disengaged.

Remind me, does the ABS system make the car speed up?
Irrelevant. Cars don't crash on deacceleration .
And ABS does override the controls - especially if the user just presses as hard as he can.
No, it was put in place to correct a hardware problem (engine nacelle changes) with a software fix.
It's not an anti-stall mechanism per-se. In other words, it is not a stick pusher.
