Trouble is once you've been exposed to 600C temperature there's not much left to put "Some cream on it".

A software device that alters the trim during flight transition from one stage to another, possibly without notifying the aircrew - unbelievable. Why haven't aircrew, en masse, especially seniors, raised objections to this ?

It happens all the time. The software and hardware is constantly adjusting in the background. As speed increases and decreases trim and control sensitivity is being modified, all the time. All without the pilot being told, and totally unaware. It is called a well designed aeroplane.
