If you blip the yoke switch and see the trim wheel not moving at a good pace and then you release and you see it slowly moving BACKWARDS, the whiskey tango foxtrot moment may be enough to make you forget about the pedestal switches.
Just another disturbing thought.
There is no evidence that anything like this happened. I suppose with enough time you could sit and make up all sorts of
possible problems, but let's stick to the evidence as we have it.
