First time I displaced the cyclic while at flat pitch 100% on the ground in an articulated rotor system proved it to me. You can damn near roll the helicopter over without any collective lifting force from the rotor system. Try that in a teeter system and it'll just tilt the disc. Made it easy for my stupid brain to understand! Articulated rotors don't care about the g loading, they always provide a roll/pitch moment with the cyclic.
