As a secondary point to the above, I have always been slightly concerned about my airline's teaching that the moment you are in a go around (or indeed takeoff) both hands should be on the control column and away from the thrust levers. In a situation like this action in all controls is necessary and if your hands are not in the right place your life may be harder than necessary.

Coming from a manual thrust aircraft, the only time hands were off the thrust levers were between V1 and reducing to climb thrust. In many normal go arounds, action on the thrust levers is required reasonably promptly and having a hand there is an important tactile handling cue.
