OK - full power stalls recovering at the first stall warning (i.e. at the incipient stall) I can accept. Deliberately continuing to the fully-developed stage might be reasonable for certification purposes, but the average pilot should certainly not be expected to take a full power stall to the fully-developed stage.

Later edited to add: The only time I have deliberately induced a full power stall in recent years was when checking the rigging of an a/c after it had been susbtantially rebuilt. Even then it was only to the incipient stage at a 1 kt per second deceleration rate - certainly not a deliberate pitch to the full stall.
