The saving grace of spin familiarity is that you recognise the symptoms before the full spin develops so you unload the wings (get the stick forward) and keep in balance. And you do it by instinct (no thought required - which is just as well 'cause there isn't time).

Pilots who don't have that familiarity might (probably will) pull the nose UP. With disasterous results.
