I am beginning to become pedantic about the word trim as applied to MCAS. Let's be clear here trim in a conventional sense relieves pressure on the control column, at its simplest by a spring or small movable surface on the trailing edge of a control surface. Although the horizontal stabiliser is connected to the trim wheel in a 737 lets be clear that MCAS operates to give a nose down pitch CONTROL.
