The boss didn't "read and do"..
shouldn't this be the crux of the discussion!
Maybe he didn't have quick access to the Evacuation Checklist ...either electronic or paper...
FYI and for obvious reasons procedures have changed but as vaguely recall it at the time of the accident at BA the evacuation checklist was not a mandatory “read and do”, it was done from memory but it was available on the back cover of the QRH and on the yoke clip (though that version did not contain the warning about Fuel Control switch operation).
The Electronic Checklist occults once the Fire Switches are pulled so is not used for that checklist.
