Default Spoileron, Flaperon theory?

Good day!
I asked this question way down in another thread but it goes here.

A gentleman at the field was listening to my complaints on an viscious snap w/an edge on landing. He said make sure the ailerons are slightly up on landing. ?????

He claimed that because the ailerons were pointing up (on landing), when you make adjustments, one aileron will drop thus increasing the lift to that side of the wing.

When the ailerons are down (on landing) when you make adjustments one aileron will raise from it's lift creating position. In effect taking away lift, encouraging the dreaded stall/snap, or could.

I say theory, but it makes sense. Does this sound right?
