This is coming from someone that was about to change to Airbus and lurked in the books in his free time...
Clearly. A qualified instructor would explain on the very beginning that's not what the FBW is capable of. The general heading is there, but zooming from the big picture into real life detail, much livelier attitude is revealed. De-crabbing is a dynamic manoeuvre, mostly in ground effect and flare mode, the usual characteristics of swept wing apply. Pertinently discussed by other contributors.
