Given it hadn't actually failed I can only imagine they didn't get an ECAM caution/warning and instead were working off the vibration indicator or something on the EWD and in the heat of the moment failed to agree and confirm the right engine.
I agree. But there are some circumstances where the Airbus ECAM logic will lead you down the wrong path. It is still advisable to take your time and analyze the entire scenario before you start listening to FIFI.
