And I've met pilots who were scared to death of stalls etc. I never quite understood that - how can they be competent if they don't reinforce stall practice occasionally?
Some years ago, investigating the loss of an aircraft during its annual air test, I went and interviewed the owner (the pilot, who thankfully survived - just - had been an independent check pilot).

Me: "Can you tell me what the aeroplane normally stalled like"
Owner: "Stall? I never stalled, I'm not stupid."
