Doesn't requiring demonstration of the manual trim wheel as a re-certification requirement rely on the assumption that pilots still cannot be relied upon to perform this procedure and will still CUT-OUT electric trim with the airplane in an out-of-trim condition?
No, it's simply conforming to the provisions of the AD:
Disengage autopilot and control airplane pitch attitude with control column and main electric trim as required. If relaxing the column causes the trim to move, set stabilizer trim switches to CUTOUT. If runaway continues, hold the stabilizer trim wheel against rotation and trim the airplane manually.
