The wording and training scenarios may be a problem.
But what troubles me even more, is the apparent lack of self preservation that would have a pilot react to a stick shaker event by pulling back on the stick instead of stiff arming it as the power comes on against all that adverse trim. I might expect a student pilot, unfamiliar with the regime of flight to react that way. But not a fully qualified and experienced ATP in the left seat of an airliner.
