Dag,

With respect this is the opposite of what I'm saying. Modern designs have plenty of potential pitch stability. The issue is with directional stability. Watch most of the current large fuselaged current designs going round an outside corner and you will see them slip off to one side. An increase in vertical area is what is required to deal with this.
