Increasing the stylus force will increase the skating force, but what Villchur was trying to address was mistracking caused by the skating force (or by too little downward stylus force in general). Push a little harder down on the stylus, and the mistracking will stop.

Look at page 6 of the AR manual at the link below, and you'll see what I'm referring to.

More groove wear/damage is caused by mistracking than by a slightly higher stylus force, so it was a reasonable compromise at the time.
