Knowledge of the stall would not help ???

Ian, this is about pitching moment, the 'wrong side of the drag curve' has nothing to do with it. Let me think, where could it be 'possibly unrecoverable'? I would think possibly when the engines are capable of delivering a high thrust, i.e. at low altitude, low temperature, low speed, flaps down?
