It's aerodynamically impossible to spin an aircraft without stalling it first. Cirri follow the same rules of physics - if there is a stall/spin accident it is down to mishandling or misconfiguring the aircraft
I'd slightly take issue with that statement. Whilst the spin is certainly a post-stall manoeuvre, in many aircraft it is much easier to cause a spin by inputting a yaw or roll input before the stall event than afterwards.

Out of interest, is anybody in a position to post the wording from the POH on the stall, incipient spin and stall recovery?
