What is irrelevant? Why do you refuse to be specific?

The relationship between your original point and your, "assinine BS" as you put it, is irrelevant to me because I never disputed your original point.

Since you bring it up though...

Are you seriously stating that the only thing an F-16 pilot needs from his aircraft is to ride the limit and that precision means nothing?

It's funny that you continue to ignore my specific posts.

You are clueless. The force is the input TO THE STICK, but, NOT THE CONTROL SURFACES. The COMPUTER decides how to move the control surfaces REGARDLESS of the stick position.

It shows no PHYSICAL dead zone which means NOTHING when there is a computer sitting between the stick and the control surfaces.

Here's an example you may be able to wrap your head around...

If I start my car and floor the gas with the shifter in neutral, the engine should blow up very quickly from over revving. However, the computer WILL NOT LET THAT HAPPEN. At 6200 rpm it kills the ignition, thus preventing engine damage.

So, NO MATTER WHAT MY FOOT IS DOING ON THE GAS, the computer will not let the engine over rev. In this case, my gas pedal has a 100% dead zone.

Now, when I get the upgrade for my car which has "no-lift shift" (to keep the turbo charger up to speed during shifts), when I press the clutch to shift I WILL NOT HAVE TO TAKE MY FOOT OF THE GAS. The computer measures the position of the clutch and reduces throttle while the clutch pedal is depressed and then gradually increases the throttle back to 100% as I release the clutch pedal.

In both cases, the COMPUTER is deciding how much "dead zone" is in the gas pedal and has COMPLETE control of what the engine is doing. Just like the stick in the F-16.
