I don't think there is any dispute about the fact that grasping the trim wheel stops the stab moving. Reportedly, and depending on how positively you grab it, you may lose a bit of skin in the process.
Once the wheel is held, you are not fighting against the electric trim motor, which is disabled if resistance is detected at the cable drum.
