Pitch indication disagree (of any sort) can rapidly become a CF.
Same with AS.
Personally I think US major airline pilots could handle a trim runaway fine. But if you don't know which way the airplane is pointing or what AS is doing it can go very wrong, very quickly. For anyone. My personal philosophy is cross-check all three AI's if anything suddenly goes wrong with no warning. Unlike pitot tubes, all three attitude systems cannot fail at once (the standby is a completely different and separate system).
