You cut out and didn’t answer the first question, which was why the rotor is not subject to the forces/behaviors of rotating bodies. It’s only after that, that you can try to substitute some other force in and explain why it’s subject to it as… a non-rotating body? Whatever that might even mean.
You admit that the R22 does not behave in the manner a gyroscope is obliged to perform. It has forces acting upon it. So it is only LIKE a gyroscope, which is the basic premise of the statements by Nick Lappos et al. It is not a straightforward gyroscope. It is LIKE a gyro. That is what helps the Trump-brains understand the wobbles of a rotor head.
No, I don’t admit that. You’re again being obtuse and throwing out every bit of nuance, to set up this false all-or-nothing dichotomy where if the behavior is not exactly like a pure gyroscope, then there is no gyroscopic effect. And that is just not so. There is a gyroscopic effect, among other effects present at the same time.

Can you say what you mean by “LIKE” a gyro? Does the motion only look the same but something different causes it to look like that? Is there some part of the force arrangement that makes a gyro behave like a gyro, that is lacking in a rotor? What is the force that is lacking?
