I'm guessing you have not had any flight test experience. Simple question - would you want to design/fly/ride-in an airplane that would allow full deflection of a control surface to exceed the load limit of the accompanying structure? (assuming you are within the flight envelope of the aircraft)?
I don't mean to get personal, but you are frankly talking out of your ass. I certainly hope you have no flight test experience.
Can you fully deflect the elevator of an airplane at normal cruise speed (above Va) and expect to remain within load limits? Or course not. Airplanes are not bumper cars, you can't just do whatever you want with the controls and expect everything to be OK. There's no promise that the airplane is unbreakable. No doubt Airbus has designed a acceleration limit into the elevator control system, but many of us fly airplanes without such a system and somehow manage to not break the wings off.
