Highly knowledgeable people have commented on it and not said it was anything unusual, so, yes, I'd say it's reasonable. Jet engines don't change their output on a dime.
Who? You're some guy on the Internet. I should take it on faith that you can tell who is knowledgeable and who is a blowhard?

Again, instead of providing a fact I have to trust the judgment of a person I do not know.

It should have been obvious from my question that I know that much about turbines. Do you have any information specific to 777 engines or something comparable?
>Experts commenting on their field of expertise don't count for anything, or what?
They might. It depends who they are. I don't always believe everything I see on television or the Internet. Sometimes I like to know their reasoning.
