I was under the expression that you had accepted the explanation I offered in post#605:
The difference is in pulling the sidestick back - Bechet at the same instant and Asseline 3 seconds later. So Bechet was still in pitch control law when he pulled the stick back while Asseline was in alpha-prot.
There was also a difference in the way the sidestick was pulled back - Bechet in one quick move and Asseline more hesitating.
