In my opinion, if you have an instructor who says it should be done his way, do it his way, otherwise do it how you think right!
And the instructor tells you what he expects you to do.
If he wants an emergency descent wings level... do as he tells you.

It is training environment.

Could be checking as well!
BUT if the instructor is set in his ways, go along with him and pass - that's what we're all in the sim to do.
So you expect an intructor or even an examiner to put his signature on "the" papers so you can go for another 6-12 months, while he/she knew you played a game on them: "pleasing the tri/tre", then go out on the line and "do your own thing". Sorry but if i meet/see those kind of people operate, they will f...k up anyway! Stick to sopīs AND basic airmen-ship.
A tri/tre should be flexible and willing enough to discuss the outcome and decisions made on the debriefing; if there are any open-loops he/she should consult the company about procedures (and feed back to the candidates) or the authorities on legal/law issues.
