Well the AOA (angle of attack) feeds a computer that tells the elevator what to do. You have to override the computer. I guess Boeing didn’t get the message through on how to override it. I’ll bet the pilots were pulling back on the yoke like crazy as the plane was going down but the computer was overriding their input. IMHO.
