closing the thrust levers too quickly at high altitude?

Hello,
some time ago I had a captain complaining that I closed the thrust levers too quickly at relatively high altitude [3 seconds maybe - 25000ft - 737 NG - cfm 56-7].

Never found any limitation or best practice about this topic in the manuals...And I think that the eec would regulate the fuel flow to allow the engine to stay within acceptable parameters!

Excluding pax comfort and just from a technical point of view: do you have anything to share guys?

ps: think the last time you did the emergency descent in the sim.. were you gentle with the thrust levers?
