I've read on this thread (can't remember the post #...) and please correct me if I'm wrong, that if you're flying in cruise and one of the T/Ls is moved to MCT and the other remains at its normal cruise position the system will command both engines to MCT. It maybe abnormal but it seems logic.
So why not implement the same logic on the other end of the spectrum: if only one of the T/Ls is retarded to Reverse, either Idle or Max, why not command the other engine to Idle, and let the plane complete its landing logic, deploying the spoilers and activating autobrakes. Its abnormal, but with the plane on the ground and a reverser engaged you're not going around.
