The link you provided says exactly the same as I have and he dismisses precession in one line as an alternative way of explaining HOW the disc behaves not WHY.

Knock yourself out if you want to try and change everyone's detailed and satisfactory understanding of how a rotor system behaves - you will probably find that no-one cares or listens. There have been many very clever people working in the design and construction of helicopters for many years and you think you know better - crack on and prove it

AnFI, read awblains comment about max pitch being the point of max lift and you will see he is wrong and that is why I emphasised the AoA (which is max at the same point as max rate of pitch change) as being the main issue.
