In other words, you get your trim and you still have the elevator's full range of motion to work with, which increases the amount of available control authority.
If they corrected it to reflect the historically correct method of operation then we could pull off some really nifty tricks by using trim and stick together, or at the very least be able to exit high speed dives with more ease.

Thats exactly the way the trim funktion of 109 is working now.
