I'm just saying that the 2 charts are in agreement with each other when the different stick forces upon which they are based is taken into account.

I'm not suggesting that either figure is representative of the limit of pilot capability. Indeed, as I have already stated in this thread, you can't measure the limits of capability, and you certainly couldn't do so in a repeatable fashion across a variety of types because you'd see different forces for each as a function of cockpit design etc..
