On the other hand I believe, based on 'gut feeling' rather than a numerical analysis, that if CLB power had been set and attitude had increased to but not exceeded 5 degrees pitch, that the airplane would not have stalled.
Yes, I agree with that - a nominal 5 degrees pitch, held fast and gently achieved with tiny stick movements, and thrust levers in the CLB detent would not stall the aircraft.
