I have thousands of hours in both seats of the 757 and the 767. When the f/o is hand flying an approach and calls for flaps, the captain many times will reach behind the throttles and around to set the flaps. This avoids contacting the first officer’s hand while he/she is operating the throttles. But it also puts the captain’s wrist in close proximity to the go around switches. I can see this happening.
