I was taught that:
If the inner wings stall first, the pilot can notice an inadvertent stall while he still has aileron authority.
If the outer wings stall first, but not quite simultaneously, a wing can drop (at least the extra leverage makes it more likely).
which made sense to me.
FWIW I go with Whopity on the flapped crosswind approach: get it on the ground and rolling as slowly and as early as possible.
