All in the same direction. Uncommanded. Twenty eight times. Every time making it harder and harder to control the aircraft. It shouldn't be that confusing that the stabilizer nose down movement is related to the very heavy nose that's completely out of trim.
Im certain most reading this thread understand and agree with you. What confuses many of us is the fact that you neglect to address the compound and contradictory alerts and indications that cost 346 lives.
You want to continue blaming pilots for failing to handle a system they didn't know existed (intermittent vs true continuous trim runaway) go ahead. I'm just trying to help you understand that many of us here are accounting for the fact that the crew experienced a lot more than a trim runaway.
