Not so, Mike. Spoilers spoil lift. You can't spoil lift that ain't there

What part of "a stalled wing still generates lift" don't you understand.
A stall occurs at the critical angle of attack. This is the point where
further increase in angle of attack generates no further increase in
lift. The lift goes down, it doesn't disappear.
