Question Stall stick position

I began an emergency manouvre training course in a Pitts S2A yesterday. Now I have been doing aeros for a few years and have never come across this before.

The instructor is convinced (and was very convincing) that in every aircraft there is a stick position where the foil always exceeds the critical AoA and stalls regardless of speed, flaps, gear, Angle of Bank, etc. A particular elevator position always gives that AoA.

Any comments on this theory? I will expand on this if I have failed to be clear enough.
