I think what the guy were quoting was getting at was the asinine way that stall "recovery" is/was taught.

Get the shaker, max thrust, BARELY reduce AOA and motor your way out. Sometimes riding the shaker all the way till your speed increased. For the sim instructors that do it every day, it's like Hoss said, it's just a scan exercise. They can do the approach, the shaker, and the recovery without the altimeter even moving. Not sure about other airplanes, but the one I'm on it takes a very gentle/finger tip grip on the yoke to do it.

As opposed to what SHOULD be done. Lower the nose right away like is taught in primary training, even if it means an initial loss of altitude to recover airspeed.
