The clamping force is higher and the elasticity of the skewer is lower.
Que?
The force exerted on the dropout is higher because the skewer is tightened on a thread than the cam of a normal QR. Because the skewer is less elastic when there are forces acting on the fork which make the dropouts want to move independently of one another the skewer stretches less and allows them to move less.

what did you notice before and after – intrigued. Or is it down to perception – i have bought ergo its better?
I am not sure on an awkward landing that you are thing “ooooh the torsional stiffness is a real improvement here”, more like “**** me this is gonna hurt!”
IMO the advantage is rather in general steering precision rather than reaction to an awkward landing.
