How amusing...all those psychometric tests, group exercises, sim scenarios etc we go through during recruitment to prove our decision making and leadership yet the company does everything in its power to remove our ability to make any such decisions...
From my point of view on the A330 everybody I have flown with seems to have a practical and sensible outlook on SE taxi - if it's worthwhile we do it! But then again I have been writing "operational" on the back of VRs when we don't do it...
