I wish I could be as confident as you what I did with my hands when flying. It is so easy for a right handed person to apply a bit of right aileron when pulling the stick back. Especially when pulling the stick all the way back.

A lifetime of flying instrumented aircraft and looking at the traces of what I actually did after the event cured me of all certainty - except when the control in question (in this case aileron) was being deliberately held on the stop. The physical enviroment of a spin entry makes life even harder to know what you have actually done.
