Yes, that's what I said, the T-tail does not cause the pitch-up. As you suspect, the T-tail exacerbates the problem of getting the nose back down again to reduce alpha, to unstall the wings. However, the ramshorn effect, affects a/c with convetional empenage configuration (no T-tail) and also exacerbates the problem by creating a strong downward force on the tail plane of a non T-tail configuration, also making it difficult to reduce alpha. Hence my final line of
hence the deep/super stall with swept wing and no T-tail.
