Default Slips in turns and landing with winglets

Should you not slip in landing with winglets?


For the LS7 fitted with winglets (LS7-WL), the flight manual states:

WARNING: Sideslip with winglets prohibited, because during speed reduction stalling of the leading wing occurs (example: during left hand slip, stalling to the left!)
