did the shut down affect readungs?

Question to 744 pilots:

Did the fact that an engine was shut down have anything to do with the status display of fuel transfer?

I mean after shut down did somone say "I am not sure that all the fuel in the tank(s) dedicated to the engine that shut down has been transferred for consumption by the other engines".

And subsequently did someone dip the tanks and say "You know what, it all transferred tickety-boo but you had no indication of the exact status after xx:xx hrs".

And then did yet a third person say "You were quite right to nip into Manchester in that case".

Four versus two, FAA vs CAA, everybody against BA. Makes a change (not). If putting more and more engines on an aircraft makes less and less sense then the only option is...[fill in blank space].

Makes a change from everybody having a pop at me and my outfit!
