Totally agree.
Another side to this is if you are on ILS to RW25 at LAX you will traverse the duty thermal over the car park on short finals. Because you need to maintain a constant G/S, then the extra energy from the thermal means that you gain 5-10kts unless you reduce thrust (in a heavy).

We simply don't know why the pitch up occurred or why it turned left.
