Which Throttle's Frozen?

I'm having difficulty accepting students in twin endorsement training are having trouble identifying a dead engine. How can this be? In either visual or (simulated) IFR conditions, identifying a dead engine on a traditional twin is such a primary task, and I believe a very simple one, I am surprised it keeps coming up on here. How can a student bugger up identifying a non-powered engine, particularly after thorough pre-flight briefings? Almost rhetorical question: Are the latter not conducted anymore?
