I probably wouldn’t be interested in discussing them other than as an academic exercise in considering their design and fitness for purpose, it would be like making an extended study of the plumber’s wrench as a tool for screwing wood screws in - you can do it, but it’s not sensible.n​​​​​
I like that analogy and broadly agree.
I think you and I would probably agree on most things flying if we were having a beer at the pub. All I really wanted to put out there for consumption is that if you get in the habit of using modes other than TOGA to conduct a go-around,( as in the OP) be aware that in some circumstances you can get surprise terrain pull up warnings that wouldn’t have happened if you had done what both Boeing, and most likely your company, expected you to do. They told you to use a flat head, you chose to use a butter knife, now you’ve stripped the screw. It doesn’t matter that it worked beautifully the 49 times you did it before, they will still be a bit grumpy.
