I find too that the article and also the presentation need some refinement. The presentation - link posted also by:

While removing the "increase of thrust" from the list of actions for "gaining speed" is understandable because of its effects for the type of engines mount, on increasing the AOA, contributing to the STALL, the "gaining of speed" is still important. It is part of the solution/recovery, and the change of AOA - bring the nose down - is a means to achieve just that. I think more clarity would be helpful, as the training should not have an ambiguity which would allow the interpretation that gaining speed when the nose is down is wrong.
