(and please don't all chime in with 'yeah, but you gotta push and aviate, sucker!' It's getting old. Fast. Stating the obvious does not negate the fact).
Why does this statement offend you? Is the concept of verifying an aircraft is doing what you want it to really that heavily dependent on the wording in a manual?

Wow.

It may not explicitly state the lack of TOGA after touching down (you'd have to read Vol 2 in Systems to know that, *gasp* the horror!), but I'm pretty sure it has always stated "Verify Go-Around Thrust Set". Not realizing or remembering you won't have TOGA is forgivable. Not verifying you have what you commanded, less so.

Switches and knobs = rumour.

FMA = truth.
