yoko1. Fair enough, but it would seem to me that if an aircraft requires less and less back pressure as its angle of attack continues to increase, then you're looking at some kind of instability in that particular part of the envelope. The statement made by the Boeing engineer that I quoted above also implies this much.
We definitely ought to be using correct terminology here though, so I'm 100% with you there. This subject matter is a big beyond the scope of the avg aviator, myself included.
