I’d prefer to be taught such novel techniques only after a test pilot (preferably the manufacturer’s!) has proved it’s a good idea. Rather than just because some bright spark thought it was a wizard wheeze!
That's a thought to consider.

Hopefully there is some confidence from discussing stuff like in a tech thread to reduce the surprised factor when faced with an unfamiliar combination. The larger danger, however is to substitute such in place of what the manufactures have recommended.

The manufacturers spend lot's of time pouring over pilot incident reports to understand what works and how often. Of course they don't see the really rare stuff except one or two in ten years in a single design fleet.. The one thing that bothers me is listening to CVRs where pilots run out of options with words like "it's gotta work"
