Due to the stabilizer sweep angle and the location of the elevators, deflection of the elevators generates a rotational torque on the stabilizer in the opposite direction. Note that all for the elevators are located aft of the horizontal stabilizer hinge line. The outboard end of the elevator is significantly aft of the stabilizer hinge line.
Thanks for taking the time to explain, FCeng84. What you say does make sense.
