It is not true : For the period of THS movement, the sidestick has been pulled and pushed as well.
On the A320 the autotrim stops (at about 6 degrees nose up if I recall correctly)
Remember, you used ONE A320 SIMULATOR, not a A320.
Where is your official documentation stating that the A320 autotrim stops at 3 degrees ?
Accident reports tend to summarize rather than detail every experiment performed to the Nth degree - otherwise they'd routinely run into thousands of pages.
