What??? That's not what I got out of those discussions! Sure the amount of break may increase at later times, but there's no drastic change or instantaneous break i.e., all pitch trajectories are smooth.
Instantaneous no. Smooth not quite sure. I guess it depends on the perspective. When I went to sea years ago on an aircraft carrier 2-3 foot seas were smooth. However, more recently in a 17ft flats boat 2-3 foot seas are anything but smooth.
