An engine failure remains a serious malfunction!
But not as serious as burning the last few Kg of fuel.

Statistically, a "simple" engine failure, with no evident secondary damage, is not a contributor to the quad accident database. (I won't include the training accidents like the early DL DC-8 at MSY.

Again, you gotta pick your battles. The 5000-mile battle is becoming Quixotic - tilting at windmills.
