If you look at a wiring diagram of the switches, the column trim switches turn the trim on/off. The pilot can leave it on for a long or a short duration, but the trim rate remains the same.
The trim motor that drives the jackscrew is not a variable speed motor. It is only on or off.
The trim duration is not the same as the trim rate. Analogously, velocity and time are not the same thing.
You have misunderstood the FAA report.

Again, the MCAS trim rate is fixed to a relatively high value, that's what the FAA report talks about. The rate of a pilot issued command is variable, affected by the flaps setting and airspeed. This is very easy to confirm. You can see an experienced 737 pilot explain this at the link above, around the 40 minutes mark.

Right back atcha, cornholio.
