It can be called nervous twitch because it doesn't do any GOOD. If it did Airbus instructors would have suggested it. Pilots allowed to give takeoff and landing should be given a practice of take over with the button. It's a tricky part. Instead of fiddling with the stick you need your thumb on the button to quickly take over. As it happened in the Jetstar Australia incident the guy yanked the stick to raise pitch 21° the trainer was unable to intervene resulting in bad tail strike.
