The man said the problem was that he had failed to keep the stick back
after touchdown. Does his recollection make sense?
Nope
Does actually. Little tailfraggers, and big ones, come to think of it,
bounce along of you dont get the stick back after three pointing. the mains
will thrust it back up into the air a bit and then the nose comes back down
again repeating the cycle.

Doesn't a three-point landing occur at stall speed? Isn't the plane
going too slowly to lift off again? Besides, if the tail is that low,
touching down won't increase the angle of attack, will it?
You say the mains will thrust it back up into the air and the cycle will
repeat. In a three-point landing, it seems it would take springs to make
a plane rise. Aren't shock absorbers supposed to prevent that?
