From the OP's linked report:
the pilot “effort” load to be applied on the right pedal to maintain the heading in stationary is about 58 daN. Note: With the yaw load compensator working properly and charged with only 5 bar of nitrogen (recorded pressure), the load was estimated at 7 daN. The near 60 kgf represent eight times the value that the pilot would expect.
I think the key difference (to answer OP's question) is that 7daN of pushing force is what 'feels like' pedals without hydraulic assistance to us (compared to normal operation), whereas this is actually still being augmented by the load compensator to bring it to an acceptably controllable level for a 'no-hover landing'. Without the load compensator assisting, the force required to overcome the zero-pitch-return moment is basically impossible to overcome and tail rotor control is effectively lost (58daN in the report). Of course these calculated values from the report are for a 'hover' condition but the magnitude difference between load compensator vs. no load compensator is clearly illustrated.
