You have certainly noted that despite right sidestick hovering around halfway nose-up input, elevators that are delivering that one degree per second pitch-up are barely off neutral. What do you think would happen if FBW went into direct law and tried to move elevators to half-deflection at 0.8 Mach? I don't know whether it would be even faster zoom climb to stall at higher pitch, dynamic stall or overstress but it would certainly be uglier than 11° in 10 seconds pitch-up.

I have seen no valid argument on which to base my decision on the matter, therefore I'm undecided for the time being.
