Humble answer: The pilot keeps inputing nose up trim to counter the undesired nose down trim. At some point when the pilot gets tired of repeatedly putting in nose up trim, the pilot deactivates the electric stab trim system and reverts to manual trim.
Which would be fine if the manual trim was actually effective throughout the flight envelope but it seems it may not be, for practical purposes...
