Agressively manhandling the airplane isn't required to fly it back down.
Barry Schiff's argument seemed quite persuasive, that a positive control input was critical in an EFOT, so I guess I will have to go and try it. 'It' being, at a safe altitude chopping power to idle when trimed for a Vy climb and see if I stall or just nicely transition to a good glide descent.
