agree 100%, also
In the Boeing 777 FCTM chapter 5.66 Approach and Missed Approach it is stated:
If a go-around is initiated before touchdown and touchdown occurs, continue with normal go-around procedures.

Also take this into consideration from another B777 accident case in Paris,
The PF stated that he pushed the AT disconnect switch, located on the throttle levers, unintentionally and by mistake, instead of pushing the TOGA engagement switches(7). He then moved the throttle levers towards maximum thrust.
