CONF iture, you're quibbling here. The correct sentence would be "Alpha Floor, where the system commands maximum thrust to help preventing stall."

I agree that Alpha floor => TOGA is to have the max performance regarding altitude. But I disagree on the "only".
Indeed, with Alpha floor => TOGA active, if you keep your current altitude (or path), then you may gain speed on this path => lower AoA => go farther from the stall risk.
