That was the great misunderstanding prior to AA587. Yes, you can go full deflection with the controls and then back to neutral (center). What you can NOT do is full deflection and a complete full deflection reversal. A recent presentation showed the forces created on the A300 rudder were about 4-5 times the design load. But aggressive rudder was part of the windshear training and also part of the 737 rudder hard-over training at one time.
