Stalls - Angle of Attack versus Vstall

Say what? The stall has nothing to do with the elevator losing lift.
It occurs because the main wing has exceeded the critical angle of
attack. The reason the nose drops is that the elevator is NOT losing
lift while the main wing is, which pivots the aircraft nose down.
