Finman . . . if you had read this thread you would have known that your "food for thought" quote from Boeing had been posted at least twice.
Propellerhead: . . ."The captain should NOT take over in the event of a stall normally (maybe different on a training flight if the trainee fails to react). The F/O is PIC/US and is fully trained and should be expected to react correctly to a stall warning."
So, are you suggesting that a copilot who is "slow" with his instrument scan and had failed to monitor his airspeed and flown into the stick shaker should also "be expected to react correctly" to effect a timely recovery from an approaching stall . . . ? Not in my cockpit. Nor is the F/O ever a PIC where I fly.
