Jet power management

To quote an article.

"...the first movement of the throttle in a jet does not provide much power because it isn't linear. The last movement of throttle, the last inch, almost doubles your power. So you can move the throttle three to four inches and not much happens"

Have you found this to be accurate for all jet engines that you have flown?
