stall recognition and recovery

I, for one, hope that all accidents are pilot error; we must be able to

If you mean pilot error instead of equipment failure, I agree; if you
mean, pilots manipulating the equipment improperly, I probably don't
agree. My belief is it's easier to change the equipment than the pilot.
Examples: automatic control connections, docile stall behavior, spoiler
that don't open spontaneously if unlocked, ditto for canopies.
