Hey Crab I guess I am not making myself clear, appologies:

I think where you are mis-understanding me is in the distinction between the pre-stalled cruise peak AoA (at about 9 o'clock) and what then happens after stall develops when the response to that (flapping down) will create an increased AoA further around the cycle.
So there's:
peek AoA before stall
and
peak AoA after stall

not a contradiction i think you must agree (?) if you do agree you could possibly re-read the post to avoid repetition

- does that make it clear?

Aerodynamic effects do not produce symmetry of pitch, only symmetry of lift.
- that's true (ish) - but the cycle dis-symmetry is what I was talking about - that's why flapping to equality is not really the mechanism which counters dis-symmetry of lift (generally) - but that really is a different story ... perhaps for another thread?
