WRONG and why rudder should only be used for crosswind correction and engine failures. If the aircraft had a fin out the top and the bottom you’d only get yaw and secondary roll from the wing but there is a significant roll from the top mounted fin when rudder is used inappropriately.

That fin has more wing area than one side of a 757 and they just deployed the entire trailing edge to full deflection.
