That (your subject line claim) is not what it says. You are mistaking the
questionable claim from a former OT&E guru as meaning that the aircraft was
not tested in vortex ring state conditions, which just ain't the case.

I don't see any mention that they ever actually went into full vortex
ring state.

What they need to do is send an unmanned Osprey up to say 10k feet,
put it into VRS and have it automatically recover until the software
is solid.

Then you don't have to worry about the pilot reacting in time, the
aircraft will rotate the engines forward and scoot out of trouble on
it's own.
