That still doesn't answer my post, and you still don't grasp the fact that what you did was procedurally incorrect, and, if not for dumb luck, could have possibly killed everyone on that plane. And I wouldn't want any crewmember, little less a newer one trying to learn something, reading what you're writing here and coming away with the perception that "if I don't think I should do it, then I can skip a checklist item." If you had run the checklists like you were supposed to, I wouldn't have any gripe either way.
You say if you were guaranteed a safe landing again, you'd do everything the same. Problem is, you'll never be guaranteed that, and the next guy that flies into a thunderstorm and then loses all four engines (hopefully never again...) might not be as lucky as you if they have your same "sixth sense" about the engines. They might, however, have a better chance, according to those that built the plane, if they follow the checklist. That's what it's there for. At a minimum, they would have done everything the manufacturer said they needed to do to try to save the jet.
So I'll ask directly, what's the point of this thread if you don't want to talk about learning points and things you could have done better?
