Some flight trainers say that a pilot should separate the inputs on both axes, doing only one-dimensional inputs, i.e. pitch or roll inputs, but not at the same time. One possible reason for separating both axes might be a higher control accuracy when manipulation one axis only.
That would be rather limiting in a helicopter!
