What if an up draft lifts the aircraft on touchdown and you are back in the air in a strong crosswind do you slip again maybe a number of times
That shows you do not understand the method - you KEEP the wing down until the other wheel settles of its own accord, if you get the updraft you have already got the drift compensated for - with crab, if an updraft lifts the aircraft you are then drifting sideways and either into an uncomfortable landing that does the aircraft no good or (preferably), a go around!
