Another interpretation of that question gets a yes response from me.

Whilst taxiing, away from all and sundry, when the before takeoff list is done, quickly advance/retard one of the thrust levers past the vertical and back to idle, to test for any configuration warning, no noise is good, and saves getting any surprises on the active.

Did that for years following a false warning once during a heavyweight takeoff Anchorage - Seoul in a 742.

Cheers
