Clearly a case where the real world and the flight test world don't speak quite the same language.
There's a whole lot of issues that could be raised about the stall techniques used for testing and those used in the real world. Some of the recent turbo-prop accidents in the US have shown how different the two worlds are.
(and this problem is not just in the FW world - the helicopter world has a number of differences between certification and real world as well)
