Yes, I quite agree. I was taught the "kick it out" phrase by old Boeing pilots; they, of course, really meant, "squeeze it out". One windy day landing with near limiting crosswind at Yakima, WA in the C-5. I was letting the reasonably experienced LT do the landing. He took "kick it out" too literally. I was completely surprised when he put in a yard of downwind rudder, the nose yawed downwind, followed rapidly by 600,000 pounds of Lockheed. I took the plane, he didn't fight it for an instant, and started a go-around at full take-off power. On downwind, I got my BP below 200/100 and landed it. NEVER used "kick it out" again.
