No - I wrote this paragraph to specifically address that:

He then creates an acceleration fuel schedule that is close to, BUT NOT ABOVE, the stall line. That way, when the pilot calls for acceleration, the control can predictably deliver that acceleration without stalling. Whether a mechanical or electronic control, it makes no difference; the principles are the same.
The acceleration fuel schedule is there for a very good reason, and trying to override this (i.e. pump more fuel) will do you NO GOOD WHATSOEVER.
