Aviation safety is not founded on “tricks”, particularly those which might not be described or repeated.
The are significant differences between what you ‘know’ (know what), and ‘how’ to use what you know; knowhow.
I think you are misreading what he said. Proper trimming technique for any aircraft is not a "trick," it is a basic skill learned from day 1. Not defending the horrible design of MCAS, but aircraft manufacturers have to make some underlying assumptions regarding the pilots who will be operating the aircraft they build. Believing the pilot will apply normal operating techniques like trimming away undesired control forces is not an unwarranted assumption.
