That is a huge credit to the designers of the airframe, must be inherently incredibly stable.
Stability in a downward 'mush' is no advantage unless you have the power or pitch authority to then accelerate back into normal flight. Indeed, if the aircraft had rolled over to 90 degrees through instability, possibly aided by some agressive rudder input then may that have allowed a recovery?
