teaching himself to do aerobatics. He got the plane rolled over and
got stuck. Of course we know that had he simply pulled back on the
yoke a bit, put in full aileron and maybe a bit of rudder, he would
have rolled right side up again - not pretty, but it would work.

I assume that you are suggesting that the correct recovery from inadvertant
inversion is a steep decending barrel roll. My acro insrtuctor was most
emphatic that this, or attempting to split S, will consume lots of altitude
and is likely to result in an overspeed of engine or Vne. Assuming you have
lots of altitude AGL, which you may not have if the inversion was caused by
wake turbulance.

He said NEVER pull, always PUSH and roll.

Instead, he decide (his own words here) to "trust God and the Cessna
engineers" and let go of the controls. The plane eventually righted
itself.
