I pushed the auto throttle disconnect button on my first 757 renewal sim when I wanted to go around, but I had flown Dornier 228's for ten years. They did not have auto throttle but to set the flight director for take off or to go around you would press the TOGA button on the side of the throttle in exactly the same position as the auto throttle disconnect switch in the B757.
I guess that makes me retarded as I was qualified and was not having a seizure.
