... I for one don't agree. I do conclude that had the engine management, aircraft braking and ground spoiler logic all received and correctly processed a signal indicating thrust had been retarded to idle on engine 2 that the first/primary/root cause most probably would have been removed from the chain of events.

I would agree that actions like
FI: on my fleet we are just completing recurrent training involving late go-arounds / balked landings (before reverse selection) / etc - and very rewarding it was too.
should be mandatory as operations and investigation continue.
