I obviously have strong feelings about the issue of how to best to train for VMC recognition and recovery however this thread now seems exclusively devoted to instructional technique so perhaps it should be moved to the training forum.
I will close with one last thought, and that is I think there is a disconnect between how the rating is taught and how people kill themselves in light twins.
All light twins have negative single engine climb performance at VMC and so if you are close to the ground you simply can not let the airspeed deteriorate below Vyse. Airspeed control to maximize the anemic single engine rate of climb of your typical light twin, is the only way you will survive a low altitude engine failure and IMO is not emphasized enough in ME training.
