Do you actually even read what gets posted or do you just pick out bits and pieces? It's blatantly obvious that "putting the tail in the wake" was referring to the wake of a wing at high AoA, where the elevators won't be able to get you out of a stall.

Same with your post in the other thread. "Are you equating combat flying with flying a circuit pattern?" Ummm... NO. Read all the sentences that are posted, not just bits and pieces, and then maybe you won't get so worked up about it.
