Exactly right (spot on?) regarding energy management. But I am more than a little sympathetic to the OP's point regarding autorotational training regarding disk loading and energy transfer in the autorotation entry which if I may- is the primary point attempted to be made- not airspeed, a separate energy variable that certainly has to be considered.
A sudden and complete power interruption at twice Vx/Vy is a very different experience than most training exercises and is complicated by surprise and shock, especially in twin-tin, as SASless points out. I am constantly shocked to hear otherwise competent pilots excuse poor decisions because "they have two engines". Double engine failures do occur, not to mention drive train and antitorque failures.
