I never repeated that trick and having spent some time in the LH seat on the 757 it would seem quite odd to manage an inadvertent operation of the TOGA switch on the 75 or 76. Even if one did I cannot imagine why one would not recognise what had transpired and act accordingly.

ive done the EXACT same thing in the 73, during an actual approach. The difference is our ability. The FO in question displayed irrational reactions to non normal scenarios throughout his career. He saw the check board and mistook it for a stall and not max speed.
