It seems that the answer to those questions by said company were not very accurate, but very fatal.

You will need to supply the evidence to counter the FAA engineer/s concerns that the trim is adequate mitigation or effective mitigation - it seems not, and it was not addressed due to financial and deadline factors - not that it is not a safety problem. I do not have that information, they did.

This is getting to be depressingly similar to Challenger shuttle disaster where the historical "prove it is safe to fly" mandate to engineers was inverted to "prove it is not safe to fly" due to political and deadline factors.
