The argument comes back that if you "push" when you are inverted then you are going to make the situation worse.
Nope.

If you are nose low and inverted, you will lose a LOT of altitude trying to pull through the vertical.

The best correction is to unload to 0 to +1/2 G (yes, it will take some forward yoke), then ROLL upright, then pull up to the horizon.
