Agreed 100%.

I would go even further.

There should be an increased effort to help pilots understand the very basic laws of physics involved, in very simple, and practical terms.

That would make clear the very important causality chain, which forms a logical chain in the systems algorithms, which is not that different than the logic that one should apply mentally.

The training should be clear also about the limitations of the system, and how be able to detect when the system has reached its limitations, and how to use any other available indication for complementing the system and diagnosing the STALL.

"xcitation" mentioned, if I recall correctly, using a bottle of water for attitude indication..... great idea.... maybe add also an Emergency Kit, of very simple tools, which can function independent of anything else....
