Theorizing about turnbacks is all fine and dandy but too often the point is moot because the aircraft was allowed to stall when the aircraft lost power
As the lead theorizer about turnbacks, nonetheless I agree with you totally.

If, for any reason, an aeroplane is permitted to stall anywhere between about 20ft and 400ft, almost certainly all bets are off, the height loss will probably take the aeroplane into the ground out of control.

This is irrespective of what you are going to try and do next. There just isn't time and height for a pilot who wasn't expecting a stall to recover.
