A37575, a word you use implies you have picked up the wrong end of the stick in the thread you refer to:
On previous posts there has been intensive discussion on spoiler drag with excessive control wheel deflection on a cross wind take off.
Can you guess which one it is?

Now why do you think the discussion was about excessive use of control wheel displacement leading to spoiler displacement? The discussion was actually about using the recommended amount of control wheel into wind to prevent wing lift as opposed to using none until the wing actually lifts and then using control wheel displacement to lower it again. It therefore makes your comment read differently
It seems to largely stem from habits ingrained in ab-initio flight training and carried over.
.....habits as supported by current training practices and instruction to apply the correct recommended amount of control wheel displacement for a crosswind. If people are applying excessive control, then they must be stopped immediately!
