Putting my aerodynamacists hat on for 1 moment instead of 40 - I'd say this theory is actually based on the max aileron authority required to counter the applied rudder when the aircraft is being flown at vAT in a crosswind.
This kinda ties in with your posting and following all my fruitless cerebral activity I'm now going to take a nap!
Cheers, don't ask me anymore questions - anyone would think I'm an instructor...! Errr...
VFE.
