This is the part that is very definitely not complicated.
As you know ... I sincerely disagree here, the sidestick vs control column argument is a serious one and cannot be discarded from the equation that helped to the final result.
I would agree the argument is not making a difference regarding the initial pitch up as the displacement of the sidestick was limited as would have been such displacement of a control column, but the difference is later on especially when the cpt came back.
