This may be true for the type of airplane you fly, but consider
the modern jet fighter that is capable of withstanding high-G forces
without coming apart.

In a high speed dive if the pull-up is too abrupt it is certainly
possible to stall the aircraft despite the fact you may be doing
mach 1 or greater.
