as it worries me that too much is taught to incipient and not enough outside the envelope.
My gut feel is the same as yourself. But the safety case for not doing it is compeling. There were silly amounts of accidents training.
My view now is to teach proper attitude flying and get the student to know the danger pictures out of the front and how to correct them when they see them.
Its the fixation on airspeed being the controlling factor in stalling which needs to be changed. Get the students thinking in terms of angle of attack and attitude and understanding whats going on seems to produce better results.
