So when AOA limiting is in effect the control is at the aft stop but the aircraft will no longer pitch up. This indicates the aircraft is stalled.
Hmmmmm !That's the quickest syllogism I've ever read in aviation !
No, "stall" refers to a completely disturbed airflow state over an airfoil and as such an alpha that's past alpha max, and not to the effect of a device that would prevent the aerodynamics phenomenon to happen.
