This could sound harsh and sarcastic, and I certainly don't intend it that way, but...

my logbook contained eveidence of stalling, incipient & full spins with recovery demonstrated to a satisfactory level.
I'm hoping that the demonstartion and practice of these manuevers was more memorable than having to review a log book to see if that had been done once before, a long time ago.

That is an important aspect in what I have been saying, currency! It's a good thing to be exposed, and learn, but we have to also keep our skills up over time. It can be diffcult when one does not have access to spin approved aircraft and safety pilot on a regular basis, but at least the stalls both wings level, and turning. If a pilot is worried about accidentally entering a full spin while performing a turning flight stall, that pilot really should get some more training to feel confident.
