An interesting discussion however, the original thread referred to aircraft maintenance; the line that sparked the debate was:

"Any tendency for a wing to drop at the stall should be containable primarily with aileron assisted by rudder to within 20 degrees bank"

This is taken from CAP 520 Light Aircraft Maintenance. It is written by a test pilot and describes part of the certification test process.

The method described is not, and never has been a recommended method of stall recovery; SSR has been adequately described in this thread and should be used. Before you conduct air tests for aircraft certification you are required to attend a short course with a CAA test pilot who will explain what is required for certification purposes.
