I tried it...several times. Felt the same to me each way, and yeah, I held it at the stops. EICAS looked indistinguishable to me. Asked the Bunkie...he thought they looked equal on the display, too.
We flew and it was fine...it was just the Capt’s perception.
But I was very glad that he displayed concern, and didn’t just brush it under the table.
It was just the Captain's shoulder arthritis.
