What's different? Why is it any less important to unstall the wing at low altitude, than it is at high altitude? Again, if terrain is a factor then unstalling the wing ASAP is the only action that will give me a flyable wing and any chance of pulling out and away from that terrain.

Many TRIs emphasize that minimum altitude loss is the key to a "correct" recovery.
And incorrectly so, with the trail of carnage to show for it. At both low and high altitude.

Sometimes powering out is the better method, of course at altitude primarily unstalling the wing is correct technique.Have an open mind Sir.
There is actually no such thing as "power out" of a stall. It goes much further than being bad technique, it doesn't exist. It's a fundamental misconception.
