No, because you can stall a wing at any attitude realtive to the horizon. It isn't about the pitch of the airplane, it's about the relative airflow over the win

No, because you can stall a wing at any attitude realtive to the horizon. It isn't about the pitch of the airplane, it's about the relative airflow over the wings.
So if you're falling quickly the airflow comes from "below" which causes a high angle of attack even if the nose is pointing level compared to the horizon.
