I'm no expert on the 777, but as I understand it there are no "laws" to the system design akin to those of the Airbus system. Now - you've got your "tactile feedback", but it's computer controlled, based on the inputs the flight computers are receiving from the various sensor systems. Take those inputs away and I'm not sure what the back-driven system will do in response.
