Slight thread creep, but .....

On the B717, the FCOM says,
For greater roll control, with more than 5 degrees of control wheel input, the flight spoilers extend a proportionate amount on the downward moving wing.
Having sat over the wing several times when passengering on the type, I've yet to see a spoiler deploy during any turn, even 90° turns onto final, which I'm sure are the result of more than 5° of control wheel deflection.
