I made the point about trimming to illustrate one reason why releasing the back pressure is an inappropriate response to a stall warning.
Nonsense. If you're holding back pressure, the aircraft, by definition, is not in trim, and releasing the back pressure will reduce the AoA and may well stop the stall warning. When pulling too hard on the base turn, invoking the stick shaker, releasing back pressure may well stop the stick shaker. Real aeroplanes only, of course.
