I note your comments about glider pilots being more in tune with their aircraft. Can you also sense a 737 coming along behind you at 250 kts in the same cloud?
only for the last foot! Ouch!
Glider pilots learn to recognise the symptoms of the stall through feel and take the appropraite action - the stick goes forward
Are you suggesting that power pilots don't? An electric stall warner goes off 5-10 knots BEFORE the stall break, therefore one learns to recongise buffet, sloppy controls etc .... if you didn't, I'd ask for a partial refund from your instructor
And by the way, most Cessna singles don't have an electric stall warner anyway.
