That’s what I was told. Essentially the laminar flow airfoil doesn’t stall so much as it ceases to be an airfoil. Not much of a problem when both wings lose it at the same time, but a severe problem if one stalls before the other.

Yes, I heard you have to keep speed up on final period. FWIW I totally forgot some of the Naca 60 Series airfoils have something known as hysteresis which is when the wing stalls the airfoil wants to pitch in a very scary fashion. Some of the 60 Series Airfoils are fine, go figure, like the 64415 used in the Piper Cherokee's
