I'm talking about all types of planes. Not everyone flies a tin can.

You only refer to exceptions to justify your errors in understanding. For
example, if you were genuinely concerned about "control authority", you
would have studied weight & balance long ago, as that *will* affect your
control authority in *any airplane*, whereas trim *will not* affect your
control authority *in any airplane*.
