A technical clarification is in order. At no time did the automation (i.e. MCAS) "override" pilot inputs.
Well pilots had been trained and on all previous to MAX, when pilot pulled( or pushed ) on yoke in opposition to trim direction, trim STOPPED.

But that never happened, since the appropriate switches / sensors had been bypassed or disabled due to incorporation of MCAS.

So splitting technical hairs - did MCAS override pilot input ??
