The question is if Boeing knew that the manual trim forces were too high for an average pilot..
EASA wasn't talking about going ANU when at the AND limit, and vice versa. Electric works for those cases
It's about going AND past the AND limit switch or ANU past the ANU limit switch.
The manual wheel gives access to the range that the thumb switch can't reach.

I've seen nothing to suggest that you can't add AND with the wheel past the limit switch (or further ANU past the upper limit).
