Rapid and full rudder deflection is the answer to wake turbulence, right?
That's actually a bad counter-argument NE. The AA pilot had gone through AA's AAMP program. He did what he thought he was trained to do. The AF F.O. did something that no pilot with any common sense would do. Vastly different example.
