A dumb doubt on stalls

I did not reference or even read the FAA Handbook when I
posted my answer. If the wing stalled, the center of
pressure would not be creating a moment arm to drop the
nose, the tail must loose lift (stall) to cause the stall
break which causes the recovery from the approaching stall.
What?? The weight of the airplane is what creates the rotation once the
lift from the wing is greatly reduced after the wing stalls.
I referenced the "book" only to allow those who asked the
question to find a reference.
To find a reference that is wrong.
BTW, stall behavior changes drastically with the center of
gravity and to a lesser amount with weight.
Sure does.
