OK fair enough, but the exact circuit details are not germane. The point is, two electrical switches are used, not one, and both need to be electrically and mechanically functional, to move the elevator trim.

But the Airbus designers, engineers and test pilots decided that separate rockers were not required on their A300/310 and that both switches could be operated by one larger rocker
