If you design an autothrottle such that it doesn't allow the pilot to override it if deemed necessary, why the do you even need the pilot?
Yeah but I don't think @Capn Bloggs is disputing that. Bloggs is saying (I think), and I'm still wondering, why does airspeed protection specifically not exist in FLCH mode?

Why do you need one of Bill Gates' Magic Boxes to tell you to close the throttles to complete the flare and landing ?

Amazes me that the Wright Brothers survived their first flight !
haha.
