I wish so too, but the reality is different. The last 2 commercial
aviation accidents proves it - birds and ice (probably). Luckily in
the first case there was a big river to land in.
The only thing we can really depend on is statistics...

I simply don't buy it. How any pilot with even basic experience, not
to mention thousands of hours, will react to a stall warning by
pulling on the stick/yoke?? and "pitched up to a 31-degree angle" ??
It's not like they were so close to the ground that they had to pullup
to clear it. As usual, the NTSB rather put the blame on the pilots...
