Knowing how the flight control's effectiveness is affected is part of that.
Your ignoring the fact the Vuichard technique doesn't work in a real VRS situation! (maybe in IVRS; if Your damn lucky) Obviously be aware of surrounds & conditions & do everything You can to avoid VRS; then no recovery technique is required!

Happy landings
