The point on QF72 is that that airplane decided to do something on its own and on which the crew had absolutely no control.

In this case, this would mean that they were not aware of the weather situation as they were not flying in "turbulence penetration mode", having their A/THR still ON up to this point.
Unless thrust changes become excessive, it is not an Airbus request to disconnect A/THR for turbulence.

'Thoroughly' until you read it.
I can only encourage people to read these guys too and evaluate if they qualify for the name of nuts ...
