Hoo boy Dave. Stop being intentionally obtuse.
Probably in our first year Aerodynamics lectures we learnt that at high angles of attack aircraft mush along climbing, if at all, nowhere near the attitude at which the fuselage currently presents. This means that strakes on the lower fuselage, best as close as possible to the empenage for maximum leverage, generate a significant nose down force with no crew action and no failure modes. Hence a huge assist to unstall. Details I can't be bothered to find - after 50 years I've likely lost the paperwork. It is not difficult to design a system like this to counter the nacelle lift afflicting the B737 Max.
