framer, your are correct mate.

Same general wording as my 747-400 manual.

They don't want you barreling down the drag strip with the spoilers up on one wing, eating up tarmac, reducing lift, reducing tailstrike margin...etc etc.... when ultimately, only a smidgen of into-wind yoke may be needed.

Maybe full aileron in a small/light aircraft without spoilers would be appropriate. As has been said...different methods for different machines.
