You're drawing a general conclusion from a worst-case scenario. It is true that in some circumstances a pilot may not have time to consult the ASI, but that doesn't make the gauge useless--it is still providing correct (if phase-shifted) information. In any event, we certainly agree much more than disagree, so I am not interested in getting into a pissing contest with you over something like this.
