Then, you either don't understand your sim or don't understand the

get plenty of clues about such things as a change of flight parameters,
regardless of the cause.

No, one does not, as many accidents (real-world accidents, not sim
accidents) have proved.

The reality of flying is that changes in trim or
a control setting results in a trade-off, and these trade-offs are easily
observable and we are trained from day one to do so.

No, they are not. When the autopilot is in charge, lots of things can
gradually happen, and you won't know about it unless you _explicitly_
look for it. No magic sixth sense will tell you that anything is
wrong. And when the autopilot finally gives up and disconnects,
you're going to have to catch up and act fast if you don't want to
die.
