Don't know if you're a pilot, but all of the commercial aircraft that I've flown COULD be mistreated to the point of destruction by "simply moving control surfaces in an inappropriate manner", hebe geebies or not.

That's why we learn pages of limitations for each type we fly and observe them if we wish to survive. Further limitations are imposed by safe flying practices and it is these which apply to the case in question.

I repeat the warning that anything other than small rudder inputs in co-ordination with aileron, when recovering from unusual attitudes, may lead to overstressing of the fin, certainly on ANY of the types that I've flown ( medium twin jets ).

IMHO
