That is a completely false representation of the XL crash. The crew stalled the aircraft while testing the stall protection system. There was a "best of three" inputs, but the two inputs that agreed were wrong. There was no uncommanded full forward trim, in fact the auto-trim wasn't operating at all. You might like to read your own link for further education.
