Good point, but I was referring to the stage where the crew decided they had enough of MCAS, and hit the cutoff switches in the nose down position, as suggested by the (ambiguous) emergency AD procedure. I was purely discussing the number of turns, if that was the choice they made, and the procedure specifically says not to turn electric trim back on again.
BTW, parallel discussion in the other thread, so I won't say any more. See:
