I don’t have that many, but I am current and I can imagine the scenario. The Captain reaches behind the thrust levers to select the flap lever. His watch hits the TOGA paddle without realizing it. It doesn’t become active until flaps indicate 1. We just tried it in the sim last week. I can totally see it happening in the heat of battle with an FO that you’re focused on.
