I don't buy "kicked rudder the wrong way" You just wouldn't. It's in muscle memory. You wouldn't turn a car steering wheel the wrong way, towards the thing you're trying to avoid.
Don't be so sure. I have seen it done. A lot of pilots are still unsure how to use the rudder properly during a crosswind landing and think its just a fly by numbers exercise. The problem is if they pre-program their rudder input and use the wrong foot relative to the wind then it gets very ugly very quickly.
