Interesting that the 'Retard Retard' call stopped at 18:48:25.5. I would have thought it would be continuous untill both TL are at idle. - Maybe they were?
I suspect (suspect) it was a TL fault.
Not pilot error...
I believe someone earlier stated that the "retard" call only occurred for 2 secs after WoW by design.

In fact, it was you!

Besides, one should notice that in the accident in Taiwan the only remainder of wrong positioning of the TL was the "retard" alarm for two seconds. This is pointed out as a risk that should be dealt with by Airbus in the accident report.
