Incident: United B772 at Kahului on Dec 18th 2022, pilots filed safety report

Saw that - but Simon's position is inconsistent with the little bit we do actually (think we) know - including the first hand statements from a passenger about what he (they) sensed on board. The reality is, and facts are, that something happened shortly after takeoff - sufficient that the pilots reported it and were given extra "training". The passengers certainly noticed something was amiss too. Maybe it's not 2.7G - but something happened.
