AoA keep it going!

The solution is simple: Just don't get slow on your turn to final. This
has been hammered into my head since my very first flight, and it works
for me. I don't see what an AoA instrument could add to this. If you are
distracted enough to get slow with an ASI, then I see no reason why you
wouldn't be distracted enough to get slow with an AoAI.
ARGGG you just do not understand the concept. Oh well, fun discussion
anyway.
Could you explain a little more. The situation at the moment seems to
be "every glider (bar a few primaries) has an instrument, which if
given attention, will alert the pilot if s/he is flying too slowly on
approach. Despite this, a few pilots manage to fly too slow and
crash".
If that started off ""every glider (bar a few primaries) has an
instrument, which if given attention, will alert the pilot if s/he is
flying at too high an AoA on approach", can you explain why it would
not end
"Despite this, a few pilots manage to fly at too high an AoA and
crash".
In short, why would pilots who ignore the ASI pay attention for an AoA
meter?
