A controller would only shut down the engine after it had terminated its own "reliable engine" message for some period of time (a few seconds), was receiving the "reliable engine" message from the other controller, and had determined that running its own engine was unsafe.
And if you wanted to use the last bit of power from an unhealthy engine that the computer shut down, before it failed?
