Wasn't the problem here that Boeing is only linked if no great force is applied and also switches to the average it the force difference is large enough, and that it didn't really document that behaviour?

IIUC the possibility of breakout is documented, but pilots

I assume in no small part because

> the description of the system in the [flight crew operating manual] was limited to an explanation about the risk of a control jamming

And it seems likely the precise behaviour of the system in case of breakout is not documented either.
