"I hope NEVER TO FIND myself in a FAR/JAR 25 aircraft near stall and then experience a wing drop because it has fully stalled!" amen to that, but it is apparent that people are.
rrat - I venture to suggest that JT is talking about 2-D flow?
m_j - many thanks for revisiting the scene of the odd recurring nightmare

"It's not helped by pilot training only talking about the simplified sum without qualifying that story with the usual engineering caveats." agreed, but it should be remembered that not all pilots are BSc level aeronautical engineers - some are just capable of the 3 times tables. Surely the simple lessons are:
Stick to the limits from the manufacturer - IAS/Mach/Altitude
If something untoward happens when you do 'X', undo 'X'
Learn the correct recovery actions if the problem persists.
One would hope this would work across the airline pilot spectrum.
