Ben,

I said "Not again, please" to this:

Cirrus is the first to receive certification that was "spin
resistant", but non-recoverable, hence the chute.

This statement says that the Cirrus is "non-recoverable" from a spin.
Which was never, ever proven, either way. Thus, the statement is false.
That process of proving it was exactly what Cirrus sought to eliminate
from certification with the chute. We just don't know how the Cirrus
reacts to "standard" spin-recovery techniques - and certainly we don't
"know" in the sense of scientific research required for certification.
Yet, Cirrus bashers just love to claim the Cirrus would not recover
from a spin when applying "standard" recovery techniques - which they
simply don't and can't know. The subject has been debated to death
here, hence my comment.

The ONLY "demonstrated and approved" method of spin recovery is activation
of the CAPS.

It says so in the POH.
