For some reason your link takes me somewhere else, but I tracked it down, thanks.
I don't think that is relevant to my question though.

If fully lowering the lever instantly gets you out of VRS, then you should have instant full control over pitch.

You could then rapidly lower the nose 30 degrees or so exactly like a recovery from a zero speed auto and climb away once past lets say 30kts.

Plus of course VRS is not instant to establish and you are descending away from your previous vortex so should be able to pull hard for at least a couple of seconds exactly as you might in the very bottom section of a zero speed auto to the ground.

I'm not saying all this is actually what happens, I am just trying to establish what is actually going on in my own mind.
