Basically, the pilots would get more and more confused as their plane went more and more out of trim.
Now things are starting to make sense.
Boeing claimed (and F.A.A agreed) that pilots didn't need training because they already had training for a memory procedure which would have solved the issue.
They both appear to have overlooked is the MCAS symptoms were sufficiently different to the runaway stabiliser scenarios pilots trained on, that pilots are having problems knowing which procedure to apply.
