I would. Air Algerie MD80 apparently stalled at high altitude in cloud during storm penetration. The accident appears to have developed as a loss of airspeed awareness leading to a fully developed stall and roll off departure to the port side with post stall gyrations. The nose then became planted way nose down, left wing down as the stall broke, but they never recovered from the nose down-wing down attitude
Sounds more like failing to fly an attitude rather than an altitude. Not really what I mean. Any phase of flight runs the risk of stall of the crew are ignorant of the correct technique or where monitoring is lacking.

Where the crew are exercising good judgement, technique and awareness and still get horribly close to the wrong end of the amber bar. If that is the case, just imagine the lacklustre crew in the same situation.
