snips...

I can
full stall a Stinson and fly it down final (like a steerable stone)unstall it
and land without a problem. (full stall no loss of control).

   I am at a loss to understand how aspect ratio controls pitch sensitivty. I
can load a Grobe sail plane up so that it is so pitch sensitive that Duane
Cole couldn't fly it. at the other end of the scale I can load up a Dyke
Delta so that it couldn't land or take off under 100 MPH. (very low pitch
sensitivity).
Thats no design change, just altering the distance between the avarege center
of pressure and the CG.

In the case of the Stinson only the inner wing panels are stalled by your
definition. The outer panels have leading edge slots so they are not
stalled and that is why the ailerons are still working.

A four by eight sheet of plywood at a 45 degree angle of attack is still
providing lift even though it is separated and stalled by your definition.
With enough HP it would still fly.
