Sorry, in hindsight my words appear a bit harsh

...and yes, I have no idea what he was looking at; rephrase: he had six seconds where the speed decayed and the stickshaker finally came on. Agreed, he was apparently lacking the most basic flying skills.
I don't think it made sense to him what he did like you said, because you either pull and retard with tailplane stall, or push and increase power on "regular" stall, correct? - he pulled and added power (the latter obviously didn't help as much I guess you want to suggest with that "pulling itself out" comment).

I'm sorry to disagree on your last comment too: the stick shaker came on, the autopilot off and immediately he pulled aft slowing down even more; only than he used right aileron when the a/c banked to the left - maybe overcontrolled, but more important is the fact that he never released back pressure.
