If true the pilots might have thought a manual trim was taking too long - too many rotations to make a difference while they were unstable, then thought electrical would help and turned the motors back on?
When you start going off from what the manual says you become a test pilot. I can assure you I’ve had practice at running manual trim (for clarification in the sim only) and my little arm was working overtime to avert disaster, but...we managed to get it under control. The 737 does require some muscle even in normal flight.
