I go with JF on this one. The phrase is DIRECT lift control with the direct bit coming from the interaction of pitch input and spoilers. It isn't a two-handed arrangement, which is the glider case or as would be available on any aircraft with spoilers NOT interlinked. The system as implemented on the Tristar was excellent and the resultant pitch stability plus its benign handling characteristics made the technical complication worthwhile.
