When I was doing upgrade training one of our checkies used to have you fly downwind properly trimmed at 1500 ft in the B767. Then he would quickly slam the controls from stop to stop and nothing happened. A good lesson in leaving it alone. He also taught me to let go the column about every 15 seconds to ensure that we were in trim. Boeings tend to PIO if you waggle the ailerons.
