But this would immediately change the angle-of-attack of the both the
wing and the horizontal stab. So the wing loses some lift, while the
horizontal stab increases its already downward push. This would tend
to push the nose 'up', and restore the angle of attack of the wing.
Oops. I got this wrong. If both wing and horizontal stab are pushed
down then the net effect is no change in angle of attack.
