Default Wing dihedral

I agree completely - it's about the slip created and how dihedral
responds to it.

Give some thought to the components of lift, on both wings, and to which
direction lift acts. ;-)

I have. I see no forces presented in this illustration that would change
the components of lift on the wings or it's direction that would cause the
aircraft to roll back to horizontal.

Why would a horizontal wing create "more effective lift" than a banked wing?
