Don't worry, Centaurus is from Australia...
Moi aussi - geddit.
Funny thing tradition. From the very first flight I had on a Tiger Moth to operating all types of military and civil aircraft from one to four engines, I was always taught to keep one hand on the throttle(s) for not only the entire take off run but for initial climb out. I guess throttle friction nuts were not as good those in Boeings. But never once was I tempted to snatch the power back in reflex action against a sudden noise. I guess the training of modern airline pilots must be lacking somewhere along the way if they are so twitchy as to jump with fright and pull back a throttle for no reason.
