No, I don't think thats the message.
What he means is with a friction control, once the trailer is angled away from straight behind the TV, the friction device also resists allowing the combo to return to a straight ahead position. So it restricts movement both directions.
The DC has ever increasing resistance to the trailer moving off center and then it uses that spring tension to help return it to center.
FWIW, I've had both and feel the Dual Cam works much better than the other style that use a friction material.
However, I also think there are some other technologies available that look very good. They use springs built into the head or some other leverage to do the same job.
