Then you should know that the vertical stab can't prevent yaw, it can
only help eliminate yaw once it occurs as it can't provide any restoring

occurring in the first place. Fundamental difference here.


Nope. In most flight regimes if you displace the rudder you are
generating yaw not preventing it. What you are trying to wrap
your brain around is that you can use the rudder to accellerate
the responsiveness of the vertical stabs natural tendencies,
but by your own admission, in coordinated flight the stab is
streamlined.
