my whole point is this...if a pilot wants to stall a plane, he shouldn't have to say: pretty please let me stall.

and sully wanted to arrest the descent a bit...but couldn't because the plane thought he might get too close to the stall.

ok...you shouldn't be fULLY stalled in this situation, but a few knots closer to the stall and he could have cut his descent rate in half.
