I don't have the 737 Max QRH but this is from the 737NG QRH. I'm guessing, since B kept quiet about the MCAS it would be the same!
"RUNAWAY STABILIZER
Condition: Continuing rotation of the stabilizer trim wheel in a manner not appropriate for the flight conditions."
Is 'continuing' the same as continuous which is how it was always presented in the sim? Are there differences in how these words are understood on each side of the Atlantic? I think both crews had previous NG experience, (reversion to past experience under stress?), but also remember English was not their first language.
I suppose the last part, "not appropriate etc", covers the intermittent trim wheel rotation but as suggested probably not all crews would have remembered that part of the conditions for applying the "Runaway Stabilizer" Non-Normal Checklist at the time.
