Sorry, I may not have been clear, the comments I was to were about MCAS not honoring the aft column cutout switch - if you pull the yoke back far enough STS will stop trimming forward, MCAS won't. See e.g. last few paragraphs of this link: https://leehamnews.com/2018/11/14/bo...to-the-pilots/ (I know that's not from a pilot but I'm sure I've seen similar from pilots).

Something different happened about 30 seconds before the dive.
I've seen some speculation that the traces indicate a handover of control, I don't know if that is so, but I agree - something happened.
