Oh but that's not how this game is played!

I think your answer is still open to considerable debate. You dismiss rotation on the basis of assistance from a component of thrust. That may or may not be correct depending on the rate at which climb is established.

More importantly, how about re-establishing climb after a level off early in the flight? That takes an acceleration upwards, and the the thrust component is minimal.
