Go around flaps

Hi,

One of my customer made a very relevant remark.Raising the flaps prior to raising the gear on a low energy go around would lead the aircraft to sink. However, our procedure is to call: GO AROUND, CHECK THRUST, THRUST SET, FLAPS 6, POSITIVE RATE, GEAR UP.....

Now I'm sure the aircraft manifacturer figured the best procedure but I"d like to be able to better explain scientifically why it is better to raise the flaps first rather that raising the gear. Boeing & Embraer do the same, to name a few.

Would your take?
