Thanks, BOAC, I was not blaming you for promoting this flight technique, I was trying to make my position more clearly.
It is fairly clear to me that the crew had little idea they were stalled.
You might be very true with this statement.
But what else than stalling are you doing if you are "flying" fully configured at idle power with less than 100 (sometimes less than 40) knots? (This is once again not challenging your statement but hinting to what the pilots should have known at that moment).
