A lot of that is trade jargon which most pilots don't need to know - but my important point is that to say something is "more" or "less" stable is generally over-simplistic and potentially misleading.

Re: unspinnable aeroplanes. I flew a programme years ago on the French HM1000 Balerit which was also unspinnable. I was not party to the testing, but was also assured by those involved that the same was true of the British CFM Shadow. Such aeroplanes do exist, they're just extremely rare.
