To make a long story short...
and it is my way of thinking not an official answer! It is a question of role. The constant force controls the energy which will power the escapement in order to make this flow of energy as stable as possible; it acts downstream. The behaviour of the escapement is obviously influenced but not by itself. The constant escapement acts on the escapement itself which in a theorical point of view is more efficient for the accuracy of the watch since even in a case of an instability of the energy, it can reduce this impact and preserve the isochronism.
Thanks for your comments!

Salon Belles Montres 2013: Girard-Perregaux
A few days before Baselworld and the unveiling of the 2014 novelties, I would like to come back to the Girard-Perregaux exhibition which took place at the Salon Belles Montres in Paris in November 2013. Girard-Perregaux and JEANRICHARD were amongst the ma...
Thank you for this recap, Fx! :)
Yes, in a few days we will see what GP have for us this year! :) Best Blomman
Interesting article. I think it would be even more interesting to explain why a Constant
Escapement is Superior to a Force Constant ala Lange, or Breguet. That is, IMO, the most important thing when we discuss this Watch. Thanks, Fx. Nicolas
