Not questioning that your excerpt is from some other article (or perhaps the comment section?), but your quote does not appear in the article you cited. The major takeaway from this particular Aviation Week article is the absolute necessity to respond to any 737 runaway stab trim problem quickly before it gets to an excessive out of trim state.
Yep I must have screwed up copying notes from a few thousand posts in this thread and those in the Tech section that were/are locked as a sticky
But IMHO the point is the same
A) above some 'reasonable' speed, the use of the manual trim wheel to correct anything other than a minor change in angle is essentially impossible.
B) This same issue applies AFIK to NG
C) The yo-yo game was dropped from training and manuals over two decades ago
D) How fast a response is needed depends on AGL and how fast the stabilizer is driven.
