Dogma misses the point (catatonically)

Belgique
I have raised this earlier, only to be told that this aircraft was not affected by the AD.
.
Think the point Belgique is making is that the Emergency AD (-51) was reissued as -52 to cover the fact (as soon as Boeing realized it) that more than the SPF model of the 737-800 was involved.
So if the aircraft did takeoff with a spoiler or two UP (because the takeoff configuration warning would not be activated in this scenario), then it's conceivable that around about 30 secs after takeoff (the actual scenario) roll control would have been lost (or at least a huge factor as the airplane accelerated to climb speed).
.
Can't see the error in that logic.
