Oh good heavens here we are again...

If as a professional pilot you believe that T/L movement tells you what your thrust is....... I would rather fly with someone else. All competent pilots include EPR/N1/RPM/whatever the dial says, in their scan.
Imagine engine failure on approach in a 737 - moving thrust levers will both move forward - but does that mean that thrust has increased on both engines? No.
You don't know what is happening until you look at the dials.
