I will don't worry, and I don't need to be a sky god.

I just need to understand engineering and cause and effect. As you example shows the outside flap went and gave the guy the most favourable longest time to recover and he still went in.

Maybe you shouldn't use flaps at all just in case.

piper I wouldn't think twice about it. But I am sure some will have a theory that you are risking life and limb of a stall and spin in. And its down right dangerous and even reckless to be even thinking about being able to handle the aircraft in such an exposed situation.

You might have to move the controls in a coordinated manner to keep the right attitude. Or god forbid take your hand off the throttle.
