UNA - There is no way your instructors were aeronautical engineers with the Airbus structural data, then punch in an accurate description of the wake turbulance event, then assuming they actually had the actual correct FDR inputs instead of some 'gamed' numbers, then of course found the only Arnold Swarzeneger pilot in the fleet that could bang 140 lb inputs back and forth in the sim to come up with 'sideloads' that imposed 'vertical loads' to take the tail off.

I mean I have been in the sim where I asked them to do a dual bucket deployment. ha. Trust me, these guys can't simulate the tail coming off. At best they can sit around a table with the numbers Airbus gave them, trying to convince the FAA that some perfect storm of rudder input and wake turbulance, conbined with a super special snowflake sensitive rudder system, that some how got through flight test cerfication, but you know, now needs to be recertified, because, you know..NOW they know it's quirky.

Come on.
