Creampuff's argument appears to me to be: That not all piston twin aircraft have similar engines nor fuel systems. So there's no 'one size fits all' on how to do EFATO's in a twin.
Understanding how your aircraft's engines and fuel systems really work must add to the safety of your flying. (And I don't mean some of the OWT's that many of us learnt from our GA instructors, all those years ago.)
