So reducing the thrust while accelerating in level flight instead of keeping CLB thrust to prevent an overspeed if the PM is a second or two too late in retracting the flaps one step, raising the gear, monitoring the PF's actions and retracting the remaining flaps, probably during a go-around at a speed higher than Vapp and closer to VFE, is not smart flying?
I agree that reducing thrust below CLB is normally not required, but in case it is, there's no harm in doing so. It's called common sense and flying the airplane. You might know what's going on, but the pilot next to you might be overloaded.
