Be a shame to ball up the airplane trying to be a hero when it may just be an indication problem.
That's not what he said, he said that if it was producing power you let it burn and keep the power. So with something like that I would not relax.
But like I said, assuming the aircraft is under control you get the checklist out and shut it down. No panicking necessary.
