We felt a buffet and found airspeed well into the barber pole. First Officer flying; I retarded the thrust levers to reduce speed. Our initial evaluation was we'd entered a mountain wave (165 KTS of wind at altitude); but the indicated speeds didn't make any sense. We started checking for other causes; pitot heat; etc....
I would go so far as to say that I have seen every Captain I have flown with use this or similar move to send ACARS messages in the 400. It should be noted that newer airplanes do not have this potential problem because there is a menu button on both sides.
As a B737 Captain was entering ACARS data at FL320 he inadvertently moved the flap handle which caused airframe vibrations and a flap overspeed. When they recognized the error power was reduced and the flaps raised.
