Question Full flap on a crosswind landing..........problems?

Following the enthusiasm for my other posting "Slide slipping.....problems?" in this forum I am tempted ask another question of you aero buffs, aerodynamicists and technically knowledgable.

Can anybody explain the pro's and con's of the theory "Do not use full flap for a crosswind landing"?

If 30° or 40° (depending on type) is NOT good in a crosswind - then what is? And how can 30° full flap in one model of Cessna be worse than 30° not quite full flap in another model of Cessna...given the same crosswind landing conditions.

(Edit was for a typo)
