penko, you are wrong. it will not start and you will not end up with more thrust than you wish
Why have you never tried it before. Afraid ? Don't worry. Rely in the technologie. Just try it in the airplane on your next engine start. No big deal at all.
Btw: you will receive an ECAM.
a lot in this nice aircraft is foolproof, so this, if "we pilot idiots" forget having thrust levers not in idle during engine start.
therefore e.g.
THRUST LEVER ...idle
is not mentioned on the BEFORE START checklist if you operate acc "less-paper/silent-cockpit". Its protected by the aircraft.
