A complete tangent, for which I apologise in advance to all others, but what did Andre Turcat make of a SS on the test SST?

We ended-up with ram's horn yoke, FBW and elevons with artificial feel.

Was there any significance to the final choice, given that aircraft type went under rigorous testing unheard of today (sadly to post-oil crisis commercial disaster, compare with hurried into service DC10)?
