I don't care how skilled they are or aren't. The issue is one of "was it realistically possible?". Obviously trim was regularly adjusted before certain actions were taken, such as dives, but this is different to making 2 or 3 degrees of movement inside 2 seconds whilst in the dive itself. From what I've read so far it appears that the trim adjustment is too fast compared with real life, therefore historically inaccurate.

@Crump. You do seem to dismiss things unless it is absolutely proven to you, possibly in the knowledge that you know that evidence to the level you require is not possible. This is why we use deduction, common sense and trim off the extreme viewpoints to gain a sensible perspective on the situation. To be honest mate, I'm not sure you are able to contribute anything to any discussion involving history because of this approach, and this becomes harder as less is known and greater speculation is required because it would never be possible to satisfy your requirements.
I ask you, since you play devils advocate for this discussion, do you hold the belief that what we have now is correct? According to your logic it cannot be.
