Incidence or CG?

[Ken Thompson]

If you had a little positive incidence in the main wing, to fly level in upright flight, you would have it corrected by incidence in the stab or possibly elevator trim.  When you roll inverted the correction remains constant.

  Bear with me on this question guys...

  I know the test for CG is to roll inverted and watch for nose down or tail down.  But relative to everything else why wouldn't wing incidence screw you up inverted?  Seems to me that all things remaining equal, if you had a little positive wing incidence and level flight upright that the nose would drop when inverted....Where is the blind spot in my logic?
