The statements:

B: surprise scenarios in simulator results in startle, which results in negative training
contradict each other and can not both be true. so which is false?
If startle factor is expected for certified pilots, then the whole industry is in deep trouble, as apparently the planes are meant to be flown by confident, un-startled pilots, who apply just the right procedures i just the right time (see discussion in then Atlas thread).
He is talking about
This. Surprise and startle factor is one of the several EASA CRM training elements but it must be done through the appropriate ways.
