Short answer NO !

We have two levels of training and testing for good reason.
The simulator is where we train for abnormal and emergency operations with degraded systems.
Line checking SHOULD be focussed on SOP and normal operations.
It is fine to explore technical discussions in the post flight debrief, but in every operator with whom I have flown this is strictly forbidden, and believe that underlying this are regulations stating such.

From a purely professional perspective, where is your defence should an incident occur for a deliberate act of this nature ?

There is no defence, you would be toast for doing it, and toast for allowing it to happen as an aircraft commander.
