Langewiesche has a habit of oversimplifying
Quite possibly - but I wish I'd known this when I did my skills test. I realise now that I have been fighting the rudder with back pressure. I would have realised this by watching the ball of course but one needs to be watching the horizon when doing steep turns.

There may need to be some rudder even so but I assume the point he is making is that it wouldn't be the same amount as when rolling into the turn.
