It is not nonsense.

It hasn't been canned.

It's just folks around still can't tell the difference between approach to stall recovery and stall recovery. Unsurprising if one can't tell the difference between the stall warning and stall.
It was nonsense and both Airbus and Boeing have now canned it. The revised teaching is also that recovery for an incipient stall and recovery from the developed stall require the same initial actions. Suggest you read your revised QRH.....

So what. If autopilot autotrimed, manual trim is available. If FBW autotrimed, stick forward causes trim to roll in the opposite direction.
I said elevator authority, not pitch authority. Due to the resulting very powerful pitch/power couple, TOGA from very low speed may cause excessive pitch angles to be achieved which elevator alone may be insufficient to prevent. This may cause excessive AoA to develop before use of the pitch trim can prevent this situation being reached.
