This may be a matter of loose terminology - in the flare (and when slowing down in level flight generally), once you have reached the angle of attack giving the maximum coefficient of lift, you will descend (and therefore, in the flare, touch down.) Though there will be some flow separation at this point (and before) it is still a couple of degrees from a full-blown stall.
