Again, baloney. The plane will stay at the trimmed airspeed until it
hits the ground. You may want to push the nose over to hit a certain
spot but it is not necessary to keep the plane in the air.

Well, it will seek it's trim speed but hands-off, most if not all
aircraft will overshoot it a bit before finding it in the case of sudden
power loss. But agree with the point less stridently taken.
