Could it be that you mean the opposite: Airbus is averaged, Boeing is physically linked?

That is my understanding of both systems at least

Wasn't the problem here that Boeing is only linked if no great force is applied and also switches to the average it the force difference is large enough, and that it didn't really document that behaviour?

IIUC the possibility of breakout is documented, but pilots

I assume in no small part because

And it seems likely the precise behaviour of the system in case of breakout is not documented either.
