Are you sure you work for Pinnacle?

To loosely quote an old "stall profile":

"Pull back on the yoke (respecting the stick shaker) to avoid losing altitude."

I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't read it with my own eyes. We were taught to pull up (and if we got the pusher, to release enough pressure to get the pusher to stop, then continue pulling back).

Why do you think the company quietly issued a revision to the manual shortly after Feb 12, 2009, effectively removing the stall profiles from the CFM? Why do you think that it's now no longer a pass/fail item on the PC? It's a demonstration only, one in which we definitely establish at least some sort of descent to trade our altitude for airspeed...
