The trim wheel sound would have been inaudible with the stick shaker continuously sounding. Not easy to think or communicate with that continuously sounding. Any attempt to communicate subtleties would have been very difficult.
I can give you a very practical demonstration, the video below is a 5 min loop of the B737 stick shaker (half the flight time of this flight).
put in on, and try to a complex cognitive puzzle task that requires you to solve a problem that no line pilot has ever seen, nor could have reasonably anticipate. Just because other crews succeeded, does prove this is a satisfactory state of affairs for an RPT line flight.
