It’s a self-inflicted scenario. **There is no scenario where the pilot could not entirely mitigate the drawback by manually managing the active repper. Not even the one you repeatedly talk about.**

And therefore the only “double edge” is when the pilot purposefully and deliberately steps on the rake. No one has sympathy for this scenario. Which is why you feel ignored.
