Chris,
why do you say I'm wrong when you're emphasising what I said?
While you initially give a rate based on stick displacement, the airplane then holds the commanded attitude (with centered controls!). It hence does NOT behave like an airplane we all learnt to fly on, also the only airplanes we ever had any *real* upset recovery training in.
I rest my case, one should never implement systems which behave differently from what one learnt initially. We had a good example of that in Zurich not too long ago when a Saab 340 stuck it in near vertically shortly after takeoff, the Moldavian pilot had learnt to fly on AH's where the airplane symbol moves rather than the horizon. So he corrected the wrong way for an overbank condition.
