before having called ready can go a long way toward mitigating the threat of doing exactly what has possibly occurred in this instance.
I perceive lining up to roll to be a critical phase of flight and I like to have everything out of the way that I can...including the tray table
but hey, that's just me.
It certainly helps my puny brain at least.
