Take a glider pilot and put her/him into light single, stall it and their reaction will always be to point the nose at the ground before reaching for the throttle lever.
Surely not! Glider stall recovery requires the pilot to simultaneusly push forward on the spoiler lever while pitching nose down. The glider pilot - any pilot - in a light aircraft should be flying manoeuvres with one hand on the throttle - which works in exactly the same sense as the spoiler on a glider - and vv.
