I don't think it is that the pilots did or did not realize the stall. The stall alarm went off 75 times. The problem was they were not aware of their pitch for some reason. They must have thought they were heading towards the ocean due

You might have missed the part where the sole premise of Interstellar was that they were leaving Earth to explore other planets because of how bad Earth had become. I.e. a dystopian future.
