Air Force and most probably Navy and Marine fighter pilots spend at lot of time right at the edge. They'd laugh at this discussion.
How many times do you put your hand in a flame before you know it burns you? Do airline pilots practice stalling a 747? Do Air Force pilots practice stalling the Raptor?

Question:
"Why would you want to practice stalling a plane such as a IVP or IVPT that is quick to enter a spin and may or may not be recoverable?"
Answer:
For the same reason you must demonstrate stalls to get your pilots license and to do your bi-annual flight review: So you will recognize the approaching loss of control and take to proper action. It's so much easier to learn at 3000' AGL than at 100' AGL on short final with your wife and kids aboard.
Got another question for you. Would you really fly an airplane that wou
ld kill you as soon as you got close to a stall? Every landing would be a nail biter.
