"If you don't like what does automation ... just disconnect !"
Isn't it a golden rule for automation airplanes ... ???
I would see two main reasons to disconnect AP or (and) A/THR:
1- For fun
2- Under pressure cos you're surprised by what you get through automation this time, and you want to go back to basic as quickly as possible.
But if you have never been caught yet ...
Do not worry ... your turn will come !
