We're splitting hairs at this point. I think it's fair to say and we can both agree that it's an extension of the normal canard coupling mechanism best visualized with the arcing condensation. I consider it remarkable enough to merit a new label, you don't. Let's leave it at that.
Eh…you might be. I’ve just been making the same point over and over that what you’re trying to point out is consistent behavior with what I described for stage 3. You can give it a label if you want but it’s just not functionally different from what canard downwash does or what it will look like under certain conditions.

Some illustrations showing the advantage of rolling at high AOA.

The motion essentially merges a roll with a turn. You have a 25-30 degree head start in nose direction change compared with rolling along the aircraft's axis.

But what is the purpose of the corkscrew maneuver? It still can't escape from a missile.
Not a lot of maneuvre will make you escape a good missile launch beside counter measure...it could help but realty is not a movie.

But you can position your plane faster with a corkscrew so you can evade being strafed with gun in the rear and you can see a bit more behind helping getting a lock with helmet mounted sight.
