No you don’t, you react immediately, you fly the aircraft.
The issue is *RECOGNITION*... this does not present as a stereotypical trim runaway. Waiting some number of seconds to account for that is a reasonable approximation of that delayed recognition in the sim since the pilots in the sim tests knew exactly what was about to happen
