Smilind_Ed (#4124),
I generally agree with your post, except on one point: you don't really have "plenty of time". Look, a stall warning should normally never happen aboard an airliner. If it happens, you must have missed something big or ... it is spurious. If you cannot determine which is true almost instantly, you have to take the safest course of action: believe the alarm. Usually, this cannot hurt and you buy time to analyse later. Otherwise, you would need to mobilise cognitive resources to analyse the available parameters and that takes time, very possibly too much time. We are only humans.

DJ.
