   This PROVES you WRONG !   
      
   "We have received a report of two occurrences of engine thrust rollback   
   (reduction) during takeoff on Boeing Model 777-300ER series airplanes powered   
   by GE Model GE90-115B engines.   
      
   Investigation indicates that these events are the results of a software   
   algorithm in the FADEC that was introduced in software version A.0.4.5   
   (GE90-100 Service Bulletin 730021). "
