Almost anyone could be sufficiently confused to get a lot of nose down trim before noticing that the INTERMITTENT trim wheel motion was not the other guy just doing his thing.

Now you're going downhill fast... a good airman would idle the thrust, that would give you a fighting chance but with enough speed and aerodynamic force on the trim it will take a lot of force, like both hands (maybe all four hands), to move the wheel and untrim it. IIRC they determined that it would impossible to move the trim by hand above a certain speed.

Even with good airmen on a good day, you're probably going to scare the crap out of everyone onboard.
