Part of the pilot training program is inducing a stall and recovering.
It's fun, as you pull the stick back until the nose seems to be pointed at
the heavens and the stall warnings are blaring in your ears. Then the nose
drops like a rock.

I wonder how that fits with the sin metaphor?  fwiw, I always was able to
recover. People die when they panic and pull the stick back with all their
might. You've got to push it forward and get airspeed back, which is
counter intuitive.
