Previous quote:

I think this would lead the system to apply less elevator (to drive the pitch acceleration) than it would normally use at these low speeds,
Then you mean this only as a transient with the eventual elevator deflection for a sustained full ND SS input at 'slow' speed being the same in both Normal & ALT2(B)?

Where does this come from please?
SD Flight Control page with sustained full ND SS input at both 330K & 200K in ALT2(B). It is constant, and the same in Normal at 330K. I don't even see full elevator deflection in Normal at 200K with a full ND SS input.

So it would, but (a) the aircraft was not at 330 kts...
But the FCC's were. I'm still trying to reconcile this with what I've encountered. I'm just not seeing what you're describing.

In any airplane I ever flew, I certainly never claimed to have all the answers, but I always strived to have all the questions.
