Exactly.

I am not a trainer but I once had to explain - with diagrams - to a very experienced Captain, (ex Boeing type rated), what G/Smini was actually doing in varying headwinds.

He wanted to pull selected speed to stop the IAS bug moving and the auto-thrust reacting.
I think they get nervous if thrust is added at very short finals.

Anyway, sorry for the thread drift.
