Tales of "unrecoverable" spins in pooches are probably due to the idea

you claim otherwise, please provide a reference to an accident report
stating so.


I think it's laziness. So few training two-seaters need full spin
recovery (especially the bits about "pause" and "until the spinning
stops") that people who fly them get used to the "stop pro-spin input
and recover" method. Which does not work on a Puchacz or a Bocian -
or, as far as I can see, on most things made in Poland.
