Yeah, we all know how trimming works, except the moment "you put your thumb" off the yoke it starts trimming forward. You can't "relieve the pressure" because MCAS identifies high pitch (remember, one AOA vane is stuck, or broken) and will continue pitching forward unless either: you are trimming against it; the AP is engaged (it can't because two different conflicting AOA pitch information disable it); or the system is disabled by stab trim cutout switches. So you're down to flipping the switches. How often do we touch them? Should we run QRH or just flip them because it's the only option? How often do we flip switches without flows or checklists? It's really easy to say: they were bad/inexperienced pilots, I would have easily recovered, trimmed the airplane and wouldn't even break a sweat. Me, the real pilot, easy-peasy...
