I know what you're trying to say here, but you're actually making an argument that the pilots should have been trimming - to use your word -
habitually every time that MCAS made a trim input opposite of what they wanted. We know that the Main Electric Trim stopped and countered MCAS every time it was used. Yet two of the pilots (Ethiopian Captain, Lion Air First Officer) failed to do so aggressively enough thus resulting in a loss of control. This is really one of the great mysteries surrounding these accidents.
