Excellent, it had totally gone unnoticed by me till now.
as a note, when they designed these control laws, they first researched on what do pilots expect when we introduce inputs in the flight controls and the conclusion was that at low speed, we expect a pitch rate as the output, while we expect a g load as the output, at high speeds. I think they were right. when at high speed I modulate my inputs looking at the effect in vertical speed which is immediate. If the increase is too sharp, I relax the stick, if it is insufficient, I pull or push more. At low speed, I modulate looking at the effect in pitch rate, too fast, I relax, too slow, I push or pull more.
