I didn't ever do an actual shut down during my multi.

Since 9/11, not one pilot has hijacked his own aircraft with his tweezers.

Therefore your instructor was correct in not doing it.I didn't ever do an actual shut down during my multi.
The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no
After over a half a century of flying no one ever died because of my decision not to fly.

Re: Oops - bad idea?
I did one. We weren't near an airport, though by the time we got it started again, we were over the airport.
I thought it was so cool seeing that feathered propeller, like I was in a B-17 coming home from a raid on Schweinfurt or something. In both cases, ignorance is bliss.
We had to haul that engine out because of an impending camshaft failure (stupid 76 series Lycomings). The AME who had previously done the work on it had been neglecting to check oil filters for metal.
