Ef Oh - dont want to pick on you but you've made a clanger again. You mention that upon touchdown, with the Speedbreaks in armed (as would be the case), we need to select reverse thrust for the spoilers to deploy - not so. Thats the situation in an RTO, with the lever not in the armed position.

In a normal landing, with the lever in armed, the spoilers come up and do their job after the gear is on the ground (not tilted) and the thust levers are at idle.

ref vol 2 9.20.8
