Engine failure is engine failure. The engine is no longer in service. Doesn't matter if it blew up, fell off, or just died
bullshite. I don't know anything about flying a plane, except that I don't want to. But most any moron knows that an engine blowing up and a window breaking changes aerodynamics. And planes are dependent on aerodynamics, among many other things.
The operable words above are "most any"

Well you clearly know far less about how planes fly than I do.
A blown up engine is not going to 'change aerodynamics' in such a way that'll it will affect the performance of the plane in and of itself. Now if it blows up and the wing falls off that's obviously a different story, but that's not what we're talking about. Look at the weather and wind that airplanes fly through on a regular basis. You think a slightly warped engine manifold is going to impact flight more than wind gusts seen on a regular basis?
