I agree.
You don't want to climb in the slip since it's inefficient, but you want to wait to transition from aileron into the wind until you are truly off the runway and won't touch down again.
That's all they are really saying. Most pilots who do it correctly will hardly notice sine the air time in the slip is so short.
Aeronautik, don't be "embarrassed" as you said in one of your posts. I'd almost bet you actually do it this way (unless you skip across the runway a bit just as you lift off) but just never thought of it this way. It's really just a further breakdown of the technique.
