I agree, though I like the idea that Schoon brought out (borrowed from
EFSB) to effectively split the engine into a number of units of Thrust
2.
So failing a threshold doesn't automatically halve your drive, but
halves
that unit.  Similarly, DCP's fixing your drive will give you back a
smaller
portion of your total thrust as only the one unit is repaired - both the
loss and recovery of engines is done in finer stages.

- Did that make any sense at all? (I'm operating on little sleep here)
