I've heard a few people say that the plane is certified with the idea that the engine can burn on the wing for a while.
If the engine had catastrophic damage, I don't know that I'd want the engine being fed fuel. If it was a fire with thrust, (stable N1 and N2) then I'd wouldn't mind keeping it running to get above the terrain if Boeing certified it that way.
Thoughts?
I am against the idea of interrupting memory items simply because the training department can't differentiate in it's documents the difference between the engine fail profile and any other possibilities.
