All aerodynamics aside. What bothers me is that the spade applies positive pressure to help out the control surface in the direction it is already traveling. In electronics a system works better with negative feedback. The spade acts positively, so maybe hooked to a servo there is a chance to induce flutter. To a human it feels great.
