But isn't that what happens in a 737 if you accidently hit TOGA while on the ramp engines running and pushing back and the AT has been armed as part of the before start checks?
I'm pretty sure that'll happen on the Triple on taxi out as well but I'm not going to volunter to test if on my next outing....

Apologies if this has been covered previously but as I understand it the thrust element of TOGA is "disarmed" just before touchdown to prevent inadvertent application of TOGA thrust during the landing flare/roll which could lead to a runway excursion...as GF has said: " touch and goes are not a normal operation, the most common outcome is land and stop. Having TOGA available at all times introduces all sorts of failure modes. "
