Here's a discussion of a possible pitch illusion from the Airplane Performance Study posted above. I agree with wiggy, I'm not sure that would cause 'a competent pilot' to think the plane was in a stall. The Gulf Air 72 crash in Y2K sounds like a similar pitch over into the water after a sudden longitudinal acceleration as TOGA thrust was selected.
