Do not be so smug my friend; in my many years as a TRI/TRE I have come across many idiots who think that failing another pilot on their whims and fancies are a God given right. I have operated and checked on the most modern B777 simulators and I can tell you that none come close to behaving like the aircraft, especially during landing. Bear in mind in the sim, it's the visuals which are in motion and though the sim structure does move it is certainly not an actual aircraft. The sim is a tool to teach and examine procedures, manoeuvres and correct manipulations of flight controls, etc. However to fail someone for a landing ( unless it is a crash landing, or drift off the runway or an extremely hard landing indicated on the sim operator's panel ) as described by C Cat is definitely unwarranted.
