Why not do both?
Trying to find a way of having a better grip on aircraft behaviour after things went very wrong still seems a positive thing to me.
Furthermore this move could also help in laying the foundation for developping automatic stall/spin recovery technology similar to what's available in the F-18. Considering today's volume of Flight Control systems in modern airliners this should not be impossible once sufficient aerodynamic data is available.
For Recovery that might be a more realistic approach than training all Airliner crews worldwide in doing 'advanced aerobatics' in IFR conditions...
Curious to see if the manufacturers will go more extreme in test flights in the future?
Maybe even Remote Controlled, similar to the QF-4 Drones?
In a 10 Billion$ Development project these costs should be rather negligeable.
