If you believe setting the Eng to max cont thrust (in a non perf critical climb out) is more important than missing the above shot two timing by a factor of five that’s your prerogative. But don’t tell me I’m inventing procedures, Captains authority allows exactly that anyway.
The original question was related to 2 minute time limit for the action of shooting a second bottle during a MTOW - performance limited takeoff.

You've had al kinds of replies, with a general topic being indicating there is no necessity to shoot the second bottle within that timeframe. It is not demanded by Boeing, nor by your company. If you then decide to bluntly state "captain's authority allows me to do what I want", then why ask the question? If you feel your "captain authority" is high enough to put the crew under time pressure, you must have really good reasons. Not sure what they are. I've had my share of instructors with a chrono in the back. I hope we're done with that era.
