If I’m reading it right. The system will tilt the horizontal stabilizer a few degrees each time it activated compounding the problem each time it resets.

That's what it seems like. I read a TIME article whose author interpreted it that way too. TIME

In one of the most detailed descriptions yet of the relationship between Boeing and the FAA during the 737 Max’s certification, the Seattle Times quoted unnamed engineers who said the planemaker had understated the power of the flight-control software in a System Safety Analysis submitted to the FAA. The newspaper said the analysis also failed to account for how the system could reset itself each time a pilot responded — in essence, gradually ratcheting the horizontal stabilizer into a dive position.
