And I think it's wise to stall
the airport before buying it, just because that could turn up some other
less desirable issues with the plane. But to determine cruise speed by
stalling it? That just seems silly to me.

It seems to me that what you're trying to do is to determine if
the plane is rigged correctly. The question is "is it on the good
side or the bad side of the equation?". The consequences of it
being on the bad side are poor stall characteristics and lower
speed/less efficiency. So rather than just looking for one that
goes faster, you're looking for "a good one".
