My post was genuine. After watching the aforementioned video I have even made a rant on a different forum about proper 'Bus flying technique, "making mayonnaise" vs "touching your best friend's @##*" etc. Then I really put a GoPro camera behind the seat and made some interesting observations...

In "stable" flight phases, like climb-out, or approach one can really minimize S-S inputs.

However, when things change fast, eg. the landing flare old habits kick in subconsiously and the sidestick tends to be all over the place, without the pilot even realizing it. Thankfully, the airplane doesn't seem to care either...

Thanks for the C* diagram. Can you post a link to the original article where you took it from?
