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.
Simply not true. Manual trim is used regularly while conducting air tests. I have used it, it works fine. Obviously if you allow ANY trim to go to the stops you have a serious problem in your hands. Speed trim, aileron trim or rudder trim..... in a 737 or in most other aircraft.
