I propose that the programming in all autothrottle airplanes be changed so that the TOGA button is only active if the throttles are at least 75% forward of idle. This way, on every takeoff and goaround the pilot is forced to do most of the throttle advancement himself, and thus retain the instinctive muscle memory of doing that. Then in a shock/confusion/task-saturation scenario, this will be the default reflex to fall back on.
