JackOffallTrades,
From DC3 through to B777 and all types between, there's not a jot of difference in turning into / away from the 'dead' engine, provided that the appropriate minimum speed was respected, and all manoeuvres contained within the normal envelope.
The argument becomes valid on a 4 engined aircraft with 2 out on one side, or on a DH84 Dragon where the live engine had to be throttled back to retain directional control.
As ft has suggested, "unable to comply" covers a multitude of sins.
