I think some of it was tongue in cheek. He was also observant of the people who really knew it would all work out just fine. C'mon guys, it's not as bad as most reporting has been lately!

While the differentiation is noted for me any time an engine is not capable of providing USEABLE power (whether it be because the FCU went on holiday, fire, lost oil, fuel leak, overspeed) I'd define it as a engine failure. Would ETOPS define it as such?

If it happened in a single - I am sure a precautionary shutdown would not take place.

The 20 minute flight to Weipa was one of those movie moments, where I, and my fellow passengers, were faced with our own mortality and had the time to consider all the things we have, and haven’t done, with our lives.
However, with only one engine with which to decelerate with, the plane slowed so dramatically that my book on the seat next to me went flying forward.
I was relieved, as we slowed to a roll, to think that I was, indeed, going to live another day and have the opportunity to write this story for the Torres News.
The drama was not over yet, however, as we tried to turn off the runway towards the terminal.

BDB????
Backdoorbandit..... i think you might be confused..... I can't think of any situation where any commander would consider restarting an engine after any of the following events; quote "FCU went on holiday, fire, lost oil, fuel leak, overspeed". The aircraft is garanteed to perform on one donk. It is an engine FAILURE!!!! Trust me if you dont shut it down it will FAIL.... just in a more spectacular fashion.

Perhaps...
... the prop wouldn't have gone overspeed if he hadn't turned his Ipod on and stuffed up the electronics. It's all his fault.
(Well, if no-one else would say it...)
OK, I'll crawl back into the dogbox. It was a silly idea anyway.
