There will come a time when you good ppruners will realize that AnFI is able to counter any argument with excellently phrased pap, and make it sound scientific.
That Greek Apache was flown into the water with virtually NO pitch rate, and therefore no maneuver-induced load factor. Blade stall is certainly not a factor. A large collective pull reduced the descent and the RPM and it almost worked.

AnFI has "analyzed" it to prove his crackpot theory of how rotors work, and the result is a sausage casing of misapplied theory and mismeasured "facts".

There comes a time when you are wrestling in the mud with a pig and you realize the pig loves it.
