True, it does say that... Why would that be the case, though?
At any rate, having had that AoA disagree warning (limited to above 400 ft) would not have saved these planes, it seems to me. Having had an AoA disagree warning on the ground might have.

EDIT to add:
Hm, Boeing states:
"During rotation, pitch angle is the critical parameter that ensures tail clearance. Once the airplane is airborne and at a sufficient altitude where ground effect and crosswinds do not affect the sensor reading, AOA will provide valid information."
