Physicus, don't throw insults if you're not going to get it all right - adding power at high altitude is always going to be a gradual affair as the engines respond slowly up there. They also have relatively little thrust in the cruise due to the low air density, so aggressively firewalling the thrust levers from a high alt stall is not going to be the source of control issues and will be easily overcome by elevator pressure, especially if you remember to trim. Low speed and low altitude and yes, it is a major issue.
