You may be saying that introducing more throttle (power) will cause the governor change the prop pitch to take a bigger bite of air to hold the RPM's the pilot set. Am I getting close to what you mean?

The later is correct (and what I allways said).
You can see the contradiction with the first sentence?
You can also look at the text quoted by Loco-S.... especially this part:

Once a specific r.p.m. is selected, a governor automatically adjusts the propeller blade angle as necessary to maintain the selected r.p.m. For example, after setting the desired r.p.m. during cruising flight, an increase in airspeed or decrease in propeller load will cause the propeller blade angle to increase as necessary to maintain the selected r.p.m. A reduction in airspeed or increase in propeller load will cause the propeller blade angle to decrease.

Which is also what I allways said.
