But external events (surging alternator maybe?) could have some
impact too, and having the second pump shut off could conceivably help isolate
it from faults. Taking the surging alternator case, hypothetically, and assuming
a crobwar OV module wasn't installed or is malfunctioning, one could still
disable the alternator and then turn on the second pump even if the first was
damaged. I prefer the isolation this provides, at the expense of additional
pilot workload during an emergency.

That's certainly
a valid point, but the fact is that there's no perfect
system. At some point, you just have to decide what you're
comfortable with.
Cheers,
Rusty (now if I only had
a second engine...)
