Decrab during flare

Has this anything to do with KAL's training policy that in crosswind landings, it is imperative that pilots decrab simultaneously during the flare. A great technique if one gets it right on the sweet spot but in gusty conditions not everyone is lucky to get it spot on. Botch it and it can land one in the hot soup. I have seen quite a number of close calls by people using this technique.
