I see it as analagous to a stick pusher..
No it isn't. The end result of a stick push is the same as a successful stall recovery. The aircraft flies home and lands safely in both cases.
The certification authorities have allowed a compromise in the need for spin recovery testing by making a serviceable BRS a requirement.
Yes it is, it either means that the elevator doesn't have enough authority to recover in the stall due to aerodynamic effects eg super stall
Exactly.
I'm not going to get into an argument here though. We all have our views, and I accept that we are just not going to agree on this.
