The point is not if the throttles move or not.Important is thrust changes when needed.

That`s why.
Not quite sure what you mean by that comment.

My question alludes to the fact that I think an important visual cue is lost when the throttle movements don't match the actual engine thrust. However, most Bus pilots here acknowledge the fact that one gets used to it after awhile - and if that means that no SA is lost, all the better.
