That is not following the instructions in the Emergency Airworthiness Directive issued to all MAX pilots:

"Initially, higher control forces may be needed to overcome any stabilizer nose down trim already applied. Electric stabilizer trim can be used to neutralize control column pitch forces before moving the STAB TRIM CUTOUT switches to CUTOUT. Manual stabilizer trim can be used before and after the STAB TRIM CUTOUT switches are moved to CUTOUT."

They didn't follow the first part, which was to restore normal trim with the thumb trim switches, which override MCAS.
