Uhh CONSO ???
Provide source for ' single elevator " comment. Do you really believe each control column only controls one side of elevator ??
Suggest you read your FCOM or see:
http://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/A...ts/AAB0201.pdf
See Page 18:
"The captain's and first officer's control columns have authority to command full travel of the elevators under most flight conditions and normally work together as one system. However, the two sides of the system can be commanded independently because of override mechanisms at the control columns and aft quadrant. Therefore, if one side of the system becomes immobilized, control column inputs on the operational side can cause full travel of the non failed elevator"
Maybe on your video game ??
Dumb... really dumb!

@Clandestino,
