Yes, excellent discussions!

Owain Glyndwr, twenty years ago when checking out on the A320, one of the instructors observed that because the system maintains 1g, that it would gradually increase elevator deflection in the climb to cruise altitudes (where gravity is very slightly less, was the claim...), to maintain 1g and that a tiny ND input was required during the climb. I did a lot of thinking about the implications but never found a clarification. It seemed logical enough but as a pilot I nevertheless doubted that the statement was true. Is there any clarification that might put this notion to rest? Thanks...
