Or a pilot for that matter!
It just seems so unbelievable that a computer 
wouldn't project the problem, sound bells or throttle up well before the problem 
became unfixable.

Rob, I continue to be baffled.  In our "sophisticated" Honeywell systems you can 
command vertical speed into a stall without warning (kfc325 for example).  
Trutrak let's you set a minimum airspeed so it won't do that.  Are we not in an 
era where the new aircraft have projected speed and paths are clearly shown and 
stalls are protected against?  It just seems so unbelievable that a computer 
wouldn't project the problem, sound bells or throttle up well before the problem 
became unfixable.  I can see no reason why a VS profile should ever let you hit 
the ground except over the runway in a flare and at the right airspeed.
