In a stall you get buffeting and the nose drops. Is that really happening as you are touching down? I would say the rate of descent associated with a stall makes that fairly impossible, otherwise you are collapsing the gear.

Maybe you are touching down slow, with the warning horn on, maybe using full elevator as it's becomming less effective, but "full stall"? Wing "fully stalled"? Come on, think about it for a few minutes...
