Sure, and you then hold that until the aircraft stalls at 45000ft? Of course not.
You can't point at a memory item and treat it like the pilots can only apply what's in there in exclusion to everything else. The structural limits of the aircraft are there for a reason.
Aside from anything else the pilots were trying to maintain altitude by their communication with ATC.
Not that I'm blaming them. I think they had too much going on to even consider moving the throttles, and thats 100% on Beoing, but it probably didn't help their chances of recovery.
