This kind of decision, such as continuation of a flight after an IFSD, is dictated only by commercial rather than sound safety reasons and airmanship ! And having to conduct an ETOPS flight even make things worse. I would however, in order to debrief that instructor, ask one simple question: should the other engine fail in the ETOPS segment, would you really be comfortable flying for 180 min (or more) on the remaining engine that had already failed once earlier ? I doubt answer would be Yes ! I totally agree with you.

I've listened to your podcast and Eric Moody said that he had 25 failures in his career. Anybody starting out now would be lucky to have one. You'll also find the Boeing manuals (not sure about Airbus) and checklist contradicting the engine manufacturers recommendations. Good post.
