The fact is, as I pointed out before, everywhere a pitch increase is mentionned by real pilots it means an increase in the blade pitch angle. Your argument is dependent on interpreting a forward movement of the control, as designed in the cockpit, as "increase", which is not how the term is used, and in fact makes no sense, since here an "increase" would be refering to lesser speed use, which is exactly why it is never used that way...
Oh dear, what can one say, other you are well out of it DAR. Perhaps our highly aeronautically educated Gaston can explain why the cockpits of the aircraft which have pitch control are labelled with PROP PITCH PUSH INCREASE (fine pitch Cessna) or in the T-28 an arrow alongside the pitch lever pointing forward than says INCREASE (fine pitch). Why is that Gaston? What do they mean by "fine pitch increase"?
