Don't stop to think, just answer the question: When flying a crosswind approach to landing, which compensation technique do you use, a sideslip all the way to the runway, touching down first on the upwind main wheel? Or do you "crab" into the cross-wind, kicking it out at the last second to align the airplane with the runway as it touches down? The thing is you probably do both at one point or another on the approach. And when the wind really blows across a runway, using both techniques simultaneously can salvage an otherwise-improbable landing. Consid-ered alone, each have their strong and weak points, and demand different skills, but they're nothing more than two different ways to solve the same problem.
