In fairness, that statement is not 100% false - the inhibiting bellow a certain g is true.
It can be amended, see bellow:
THS auto-trim is conditional to the load factor as follows:
THS auto-trim is limited between 'actual setting' and 2 degrees ND, when the load factor is above 1.3g.
THS auto-trim is inhibited/frozen when the load factor is bellow 0.5g.
Note: I used values from the copy of FCOM I had access to - "load factors" numbers seem to vary depending on documents referred (mine has 1.3g, and 0.5g).
BEA Report shows that Normal Acceleration varied within 1.65g to 0.6g range.

even though the majority of the descent was between those figures anyway.
