Once again the man from down under is spot on with his understanding of the use of reverse thrust.
As CoolP described honking hard on the reverse thrust levers will cause grief.
Here is just a look at the engine at idle on a moist day. You can imagine what a good Dyson cleaner these big fan engines can be.
Reverse thrust is not used for certification. Reverse thrust is most effective at high airspeed and most operators require moving towards forward thrust by 80 knots to avoid ingesting exhaust gasses and possible engine compressor stalls.
You all remember this beauty! :o
