I think it's fun.
Even after more than 20 years in service there's the everlasting debate HOW this thing works .......
Anyway, i am no specialist, but reading this thread bring to my mind Jack O'Neil who once said: One thing you should never ask Carter: "How?"
(Just to complete a earlier contribution:
We all agree that if we decrab, the upwind wing gets a little more lift, mostly resulting in a small roll downwind. We all agree that in roll demand mode the AB strives to keep the demand, which before decrab was the actual bank angle. Logically the computer then commands a slight roll to get back to that bank angle. THAT's the input i was mentioning, it is not intended to compensate for the crab and consequent track alteration. But there is definitely a small roll input on the AB when decrabbing, which is not on a B.)
