I can assure you that if you have a major engine malfunction that starts slinging parts and taking out various other systems, you will have more than one alarm, some of which you may not be able to silence right away. Or perhaps that flock of birds the plane flew through took out a few more things than just an engine. There is no immutable law the prohibits multiple things from going wrong at the same time, yet current training regimes will still present scripted problems one at a time with clearly defined symptoms and clearly defined actions.
