And as a general statement, it is completely bull****.

There are a lot of gliders which don't have the elevator authority to stall
from a steep bank angle. However, there ARE gliders which can do that. Long
wings help on that, and flying in turblent air like rotors (where you
usually circle with decent bank angles) does help very well.

That is why, it is repeated so many times, by so many people, so many

books,
that you can't spin from a steep turn, only from a shallow turn.
