As BOAC correctly points out - true.
However in a conventional aircraft the pilot would have to pull back considerably harder as the speed washed off and manually trim like fury to hold it at 15° whereas on the AB in ALT2 Law he could simply let go of the stick.

"What the is it doing now?" probably sprang to mind.
