C'mon Gums. Didn't the stick move as you trimmed your F-101 from fast down to landing speed?
Doesn't matter whether you are supplying the force to move the whole control surface, or just the force to move the input arm on a hydraulic control valve. That movement is feedback.
I have personal experience with the subject when a small electrical box hanging by its wire bundle began to block the pushrod leading to my stabilator control valve (mounted on the hydraulic ram). I could feel the contact when I flew slow (but not when fast). If that box had moved 1/4 inch further, I wouldn't have had enough nose up to put the flaps down and land back aboard ship.
The point is that on the A3330 as (Old Carthusian likes to remind us) your feedback path is visual from the PFD when hand flying the thing. But when the aircraft stalls, it basically stops following the stick, so you have no real idea of your control surface position without actually looking at the control position display. Does it make sense now?
Better yet, try looking at the control surface position (elevator) versus stick position plots at the end of the 3rd BEA report.
