The last part of your post is exactly the "feeling" of the STALL. Best not to feel anything when IMC. Look, and think, imo.
OTOH, a dive does feel the same. It is the result of a well designed a/c Stalling, they want to start flying again. So, are you saying he tried to 'recover' the Stall too quickly? Because that would not be a 'wrong' action.
It is spookily in line with 'recovery' from 'approach' to STALL, as trained prior to 447's demise. "Lose minimal altitude". If STALL was Captain Renslow's nemesis, his altitude would be appropriate for losing little altitiude. He was 900agl at STALL.
IF 447 PF pulled a Renslow, there is evidence for establishing a "New Procedure". (wait, they already did!).
