Tet - your link has far less to do with VRS than it does about mishandling when approaching downwind. It would appear that he simply ran out of power and didn't have enough height, speed or power to go around.
No-one is suggesting that trying to power out of VRS is the way forward - simply saying that according to the windtunnel and airflow tests, this can be achieved if you have enough power available and use it - chances are you won't have enough and will only apply full power too late to save you hitting the ground/sea.
