One is afraid for the safety of future passengers riding airliners

My apologies, I didn't mean to sound accusatory... I was just telling a humorous story.
The captain has been on the plane for 10 years, so when i told him what you'd said he definitely wanted to try it.
I know there is a few differences with the CL60 and 65.... just didn't imagine that the same button would do something so different.
Question though, when I tried it, the yoke was difficult to turn against the AP servos... when you do it, or when someone uses the CWS button, does the backdriven yoke become easier to turn?
And it wasn't a revenue flight, it was a ferry flight to MX base. And we aren't graced with BBD FCOMs... we have garbage CFMs that are woefully lacking IMHO.
