Meanwhile.....Sasless mouthing spit bubbles sagely nods in agreement.

That is due to a couple of lines of that post by Baldeep Inminj.....

Kind of - if the collective is fully down you cannot get into VRS, but is has nothing to do with pitch or AoA, it is because there is no power applied.
​​​​​​​The root of a blade is always stalled (too little airpseed and no workable aerofoil cross-section....
​​​​​​​If you are familiar with the 'vector diagram' often used to show forces acting on a blade, it is actually drawn wildly out of proportion to the true vectors (a vector having both magnitude and direction).

One will note that no colored pencils were harmed in the creation of that explanation.

​​​​​​​Well done BI!
