Take it your comment was a bit tongue in cheek.
I think in the situation that KABZ was in he found that it would have been best to ignore that piece of info in the POH.
His thread is on this page as well.
Well done KABZ for getting man and machine back in one piece.

The tailplane of an aeroplane in a slip produces negative lift to create a downforce. If this is 'lost' the only thing that will happen is that the machine will pitch down and the aeroplane will pick up speed and thus terminate the slip. Nowt more.
