This is common old school thinking that analytics has proven to be ineffective. That's why emphasis on limitations and systems knowledge has been reduced and transitioned to strong emphasis on SOP, particularly utilizing the QRH.
When it comes to stalls in airliners, EET training is far more effective than reading Aerodynamics for naval aviators
