Relaxing the back pressure with the nose pointing at the ground would take great courage I'm sure. This would have been the case for the Ethiopian crew and explains why they restored the stab trim cut out switches in an effort to get back some control of the stab. Grasping at straws for sure but understandable.
Read Post 66. In the Roller Coaster method described in early Boeing 737 Pilot Training Manuals, relaxing the back pressure is carried out with the nose held well above the horizon. Not while in a dive..
