Spoiler Blowback
Sorry, you didn't read every book available! For the Cathay interview I highly recommend "ACE The Technical Interview" Book. The above is listed in there.
"Spoilers are limited by very high speeds(VDF/MDF), which also cause them to blow back."
At very high speeds, the spoilers will be blown back to or near their fully retracted position. This occurs because the high air loads experienced on the spoilers surfaces at high speeds are greater than their design limit. The force experienced is a function of airspeed and angle of deflection.
(I used the above book for my Cathay interview)
Good Luck,
