Default spins from coordinated flight

99% of the pilots will never have the ball centered all the way to a stall
break, it might look good 1/4 of a second before the break, but most pilots
stop actively flying when they start to feel the onset of the buffet. The
skilled pilot never stops making control adjustments.

I'll cite a comment made by a DPE after he had passed a student I sent him
for the private pilot practical test...
"That airplane is out of rig, everybody spins it doing accelerated stalls,
but your student didn't."

My thought is that we're splitting hairs in this thread. If the airplane is
in coordinated flight and stalls straight ahead (no wing drop), a spin can't
happen. But on most aircraft, one wing will drop first even if the ball is
centered. This wing drop creates a yaw, opening up the possibility for a
spin.
