I don't think it's a =pitch= differential. You =pitch= for the attitude that will get you to Vx. It just takes time to get there.

I think we mean the exactly the same thing. It's just that when I hear "pitch for" with two different speeds, I hear that you are making pitch changes. You're not and wanted to clarify that in case someone else has my hearing problem.
