Yeah, so a dozen years ago, when I first noticed the matter, most 
computers didn't have throttling and power reduction, so I got 
sensitized to it.  Better safe than sorry.  Airliners have safeguards 
against stalling, but it's a lot better not to try to stall them anyway 
(speaking as a (non-airline) pilot).

Let's give this a rest, shall we?
