As an interested bystander (not competing or judging at present),
it seems to me that the other folks are asking for TWO maneuvers
to be demonstrated:

-- a classical stall with a pitch break
-- a snap

They seem to think that all stalls will be detectable from
the ground--or that the pilot's job is to make them detectable.

That does not seem sweetly reasonable to me.

I like your rule better than theirs.
