I think both answers are correct. Any difference in vertical height between the centre of the disc and the tail rotor centre creates couple and an element of roll. In addition the tail rotor is pushing one way, so need to fly slightly into that thrust. I think both happen at the same time, and the answer to remaining at a fixed place (flying slightly into the thrust) is to compensate for both at the same time.

Wrong?
