Hmm, where did you get that "rule of thumb" ? I would guess it be *easier* to recover if it was difficult to start.
E.g. C172, needs ..or as "assisted" into a spin by slight addition of power, otherwise just tends to spiral dive instead of spinning.
Power off, release controls, auto-recovers (at least after 2-3 spins anyway !!!)
