@White Knight:

Your second statement is a little harsh. There's a lot of misinformation out there about the A320 and her descendants, and a lot of it seems plausible until you do a fair amount of digging - to the extent that a lot of people believe it and repeat it without checking.

Regarding the part you quoted, the A320 system (other than the moving levers), is essentially the same as the FADECs in the 757 and 767 under the hood - but the feedback regarding actual thrust setting is rendered by a screen rather than electric motors moving the levers.
