       -i, --op-inject=value
              $rsc_$task_$interval@$node=$rc - Inject the specified
task before running the simulation

       -F, --op-fail=value
              $rsc_$task_$interval@$node=$rc - Fail the specified task
while running the simulation

Note the difference between the two descriptions: before vs. while.
--op-inject is the one you want.  It is mostly useful for pretending a
recurring monitor failed and seeing what the cluster would do about
it.

--op-fail on the other hand, is used for pretending that part of the
recovery process failed.

So if you ran:

crm_simulate  -LS --op-inject memcached:0_monitor_1 at m1.fbsdata.com=7
--op-fail memcached:0_stop_0 at m1.fbsdata.com=1 --save-output
/tmp/memcached-test.xml

You see what Pacemaker would do if a monitoring failure of memcached occurred.
The simulation would stop at the point the memcached stop action was
run (because we also specified it should fail too), so anything that
needed memcached to stop first would not yet be stopped.

You can then see how Pacemaker would react to the second failure by running:

crm_simulate  --xml-file /tmp/memcached-test.xml -S


Perhaps the man page should include an example like this?
