This makes it sound as though a tail can only stall from icing. I just wanted it to be known that that icing isn't the only way a tail stall can occur.

No. You basically said a tail stall is an excessive wing stall. However, the horizontal stabilizer is a wing, mounted inverted. Knowing the tail is an inverted wing we can assume a stall on this inverted wing to require inverted control inputs from an upright (main) wing stall.
