Piratepete, the point we're trying to make is that regardless of altitude, there is only one way to recover from a stall, and it has nothing to do with power.
As someone pointed out earlier, even the flight test engineers sometimes find it difficult to say when the actual stall takes place- and they're deliberately doing it. Throw in the startle factor of the crew that stalls inadvertently, and the less than accurate sim representations, would you risk treating it as an approach to a stall?
We accept that if you're close to a stall, then you can probably power your way out of it. That's pretty much a rejected landing, or low level GA.
The reason we're here trying to show you the difference is because there have been many crews who were improperly trained to maintain altitude, and that training simply gets them into more trouble when poop really hits the fan.
