How does torsion-level keep the car level on braking and acceleration?

As I have read in the documentation regarding TL I understand that if you hit a bump in the front, the front wheels being pushed into the car transmits a moment to the rear wheels that pushes them away from the car, the effect being similar to the whole car hitting two smaller bumps at the same time. And the same effect happens when hitting a bump with the rear axle.

What I don't yet understand is how this system reduces pitching on acceleration and braking. A horizontal force on the bottom of the wheels being below the center of mass, a moment is created on acceleration that pitches the car down on the side opposite the direction of acceleration. But wouldn't this effect be transmitted thru the TL system the same way that bumps are, in that one axle going down would raise the other? Is the effect simply due to the moment about the center of mass being much less on normal acceleratory conditions than a sharp bump?
