In any plane, a DEEP STALL will likely kill you. But the A320 (tries) to ensure it will not happen to you.
Usually, first thing pilots try to NOT do, is stall. (same thing drivers in manual cars want btw, difference is one cause minor intersection inconvenience and the other major consequence)..
Now a 727 is an old aircraft without any FBW, and T-tails are prone to deep stalls and can not recover. So, best they avoid that kind of situation too. Don't do anything funny, expect it to fall out any moment, so rule no.1 : keep it in the air.
The thing that most of us are a bit unhappy of Airbus, is that all that protection gives a false sense of security. Rule no.1 becomes something else. Yes it help when it works. When it doesn't work, you will still expect it to work, and that split second expecting it will work is then when it will bite back hard.
Like the automatic car analogy, if the person's car is fully automated, he or she is given a false sense of security, he or she starts reading on phone, playing games, taking a nap, etc... and if the car goes haywire and drive into oncoming traffic or off a cliff, that person will not have time to react (not that it matters on a Google car, there's no steering)
