I agree with the part that if a wing drops uncontrollably, trying to raise it is not the ideal thing to do! Recover from the stall first, then level the wings.

But if one does try to do it the other way around, at least merely trying recover from moderate bank while in a stall (rather than trying to arrest an uncontrollable roll), in a modern certified aircraft, one would generally find ailerons to be effective. A spin would not normally result. That does not mean one should do it; it just means that if one does anyway, for example due to not realizing one is in a stall, in a modern aircraft one should not end up killing oneself.

If one is flying something old or uncertified on the other hand and tries that...
