I wonder how often, if PF is selecting reverse, the reverse selection is "fumbled" because the PF "misses" the reverser levers because he is (hopefully) looking out the window.
Are you serious?
Bloggs, I know of at least two 747 runway excursions when the pilot only grabbed three T/R levers, then managed to nudge the fourth throttle forward while working the T/R levers. Both resulted in the 747 doing basically a 270 deg spin as it left the runway .
Fortunately, no serious damage or injuries resulted, although I suspect there were some soiled undergarments
