Sure, the point was, all of it was artificial even that early. So why get all worked up about one small system that does the same thing now? That it was perhaps not done and analysed as diligently as it should have is one matter, but the idea of enhancing control forces artificially is literally as old as jet airliners. Perhaps older, I haven't looked into piston-powered airliners in any more detail.

P.S. my post is gone, I wonder why it was deemed irrelevant or bad or inappropriate or whatever. But I guess I'll never know. Just because I don't have an ATPL I cannot talk about certification criteria and risk assessment?
