Is it such a problem to teach the pilot to pull the

airspeed exceeds the desired prameters?

That is exactly what we are taught to do, but making
something as counter-intuitive as 'raise nose go faster'
does strike me as dangerous in the extreme - a huge
amount of the the instruction from 1st flight is based
around 'nose down go faster, nose up go slower'. Would
you like a situation where right stick produced left
bank? I doubt it.
