5) If you get the first three steps right the aircraft trajectory will be more or less straight and level although probably not exactly on desired speed, altitude or heading.
6a) Following the first three steps will pretty much get you to back to the most basic desired condition - stable flight.
6b) I agree, although in 22,000 hours I cannot once recall stalling an aircraft unintentionally.
