What must exist in the reptilian brain of each pilot

Mr Rosay @ 29:15
When the aircraft approaches the stall it is important not to pull on the stick, but to push on the stick to get it [the aircraft] out of the stall.
Easy to say, i hope everybody is aware of this. But in really life ...

Unfortunatly, the reptilian brain has sometimes a snooze.
BEA wrote (1994 Tarom YR-LCA serious incident report):
The statistical data shows that, when confronted by a stall, in 80% of cases, pilots pull back the control column, in a sort of reflex movement, which continues the loss of control.
Terrifying, is'n it.
