High accident rates in light twins an alternative?

>If, in the above situation you now lower the nose to accelerate (assuming >you were at the correct Vyse at the time), your descent will increase and will stay that way. Thus your hole in the grond will be nearer and deeper.<

So what you are saying is that even at 2000 feet and a blue line climb with no climb. If you reduce the AOA and increase speed you will descend all the way to the ground from 2000 feet?

>As to "Step climbing" a Citation, if you didn't have the excess thrust to get to 370 in the first place, you won't have the thrust to stay there.<

Again step climbing is used by many citation pilots where the climb rate is so low that the only way you can stop it going on the back of the drag curve is to allow the speed to increase, lower the angle of attack and use the kinetic energy to assist that last bit of climb. As you level and the aircraft accelerates and angle of attack reduces so does the drag making the available thrust sufficient.
At high level the gap between the Ias and stall is small and yes there will be a level where to maintain that gap you would start sinking.
It is not just about available thrust its also about AOA and drag.

>Find me one authioratative text that refers to an aircrafts level airspeed as a "Terminal velocity."<

Every object will have a terminal velocity
