Engine failure is engine failure. The engine is no longer in service. Doesn't matter if it blew up, fell off, or just died. If evidence comes out that the flats/slats/spoilers/power etc were compromised in the explosion then yes, this is obviously an entirely different conversation

For someone who admits he "doesn't know" about this stuff and was "just asking a question," he certainly seems to have some biases and is arguing hard af for a specific answer to his own question.

From a purely operational standpoint, no it does not. Were any vital functions damaged in the explosion other than the engine, obviously?
