But autotrim under manual control is not "automation" in the classic sense of the term, it is entirely slaved to the demands of the pilot in control, which is why you have to be more careful with the protections out. Holding the stick back that far for that length of time is the antithesis of "careful".
I think we're going to hit something of a semantic argument here where those who are sympathetic to the Airbus FBW design will consider the fact that autotrim gives effectively complete trim control through the sidestick to redefine "primary flight controls", whereas those of a more traditional bent will insist there be a separation.
If you take the definition of "primary flight controls" to be anything you can do with the sidestick or rudder, then is is a simple matter of pushing forward on the stick to recover the trim position to normal while in the process of unstalling the aircraft.
