I'm still not entirely certain that I understand. I know that you don't think in terms of absolute yoke position when you're flying, any more than I think in terms of absolute steering-wheel or gas-pedal position when I'm driving, but perhaps you can verify that this is right: if I hold the yoke in *exactly* the same position and move the trim wheel, the elevator surface will not move; only the amount of force required to hold the yoke in position will change. Is that right?
