That's where you are trying to disguise an assumption as a fact. On what do you base the
assumption that AoA would stay the same after entering a steady climb?
AoA will, under the specified conditions, have to be changed to whatever it needs to be to maintain equilibrium. And that
does mean a decrease...
Again, doublecheck with the extremes and if it doesn't match up, you're probably doing something wrong. Will the AoA be the same in a vertical climb as in level flight?
