This is a false analogy.

It depends on what is meant by "knowing about trim". The purpose of
trim is clear, and the objective of trim can be achieved in many
ways.

It is not necessary to know all the ways that the objective of trim
can be achieved in order to implement just one mechanism that achieves
the objective.
