fizz57, I agree with you
and I would add, for the indoctrination of those whose job is to keep the wing unstalled, what is the real problem of stall.
For most the stall is a problem of lift, when it is clearly not. Lift of a stalled wing is much greater that lift for level flight. the real problem is the greatly increased drag and the control problems. If an airplane had powerful enough engines and could control attitude even at very high angles of attack, flying while the wings were stalled would just be a problem of fuel. But airliners can't do that, and that is why they will sink if they stay stalled.
So yes, what all pilot should know, and it was supposed to know if from the first lesson, is that you have to unstall whe wing to eliminate the problem. Apparently many pilots did not have that very clear, as the whole industry has had to meet and embarrass the pilot community. Because it was embarrasing...
