Do not know well the details of the accident You have mentioned so I will refrain from any comments. The harm is to act instinctively and erroneously below a safe height to a possible engine malfunction as a result of startle effect, this is why when You deal with NNC thrust levers closure does require confirmation by both pilots.
On the other hand, as I have mentioned earlier, there are multiple very valid reasons to guard the thrust levers in approach.
