It si both right and wrong. I reality when standing on a runway the 
pilot encounters 1G positive due to gravity. This is (probably) what is 
required for red-out and black-out situations.

The corrected g-load is to compensate for gravity within the flight 
computer. Without the correction it will pitch down when trying to 
fulfill the pilots commanded 0G (or level flight). So the correction is 
purely for fly-by-wire systems and should not be used for black-outs.
