Ah yes, training standards, my forte.
SV in 1986, had an engine-rundown and torching incident in Cairo on a TriStar. The Captain carried out the required drill but mentioned later that the IFS (on her own) decided that an evac was required while taxiing. This never happened as she broke her fingernail on the evac switch (thanks to GOOD safety wire).
Question: what sort of procedures are these guys/gals given now?

Did you, by any chance, fail your course?
Many did, and then had NOTHING good to say about it afterwords.
