You never actually stall the aircraft and you don’t need to struggle to regain control because you never lose it.

That's disrespectful and outrageous. Mr. Wellum is still with us, last I heard. He flew Spitfires during the Battle of Britain and as One of the Few did his bit, to borrow from Churchill, to save the world from sinking "into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science." Perhaps that's the source of the disrespect?
