Flying with one hand and keeping the other hand on the throttles, OR directly behind them, gives immediate tactile feel if the thrust levers do, or don't, move. I've watched small women fly airliners one handed, with one hand on the throttles, and watch guys that weigh at least twice as much take their hand off the throttles to fly with two hands. It's flying, not weight lifting. By doing that they lose any tactile feedback.
