Wouldn't it be more correct to say for engine inoperative operations....

If at takeoff thrust, adjusts the thrust to max continuous, which could be an increase or a decrease in thrust depending on what amount of derate/ATM was used for takeoff but definitely a decrease if a full thrust takeoff was done.

Once at climb thrust or cruise thrust, then an increase to max continuous would happen.

I believe that selecting Eng Out in the FMC changes FD commands to a best climb gradient if using VNAV(as is normally done). Not sure if pressing the CLB/CON switch does this.
