Yep, this is the reaction to failed software - add more features that will ultimately fail.

The point is, if IAS goes south, you put the thrust at 80% and keep the nose at 3 degrees and then fly until you have visual reference and can sort it out. The last things needed are more and more complex layers of warez.
Well said

However if after establishing 80% and 3 NU the descent rate remains virtually straight down, you need some serious nose down to get out of the stall (said from my armchair after several minutes of reflection).

While Attitude + Power = Performance holds true in stable flight, once in an upset you need recovery actions.
