> For many people, just having the function signatures is documentation enough. You make a fair point about a documentation gap. The first step is always defining the problem. Wanting to add lots of realistic examples sounds like a wish

If that’s your mission and especially if you’re mechanically inclined, experimental is highly compelling.

The circumstance doesn’t have to be that dramatic to be abnormal. Landing after a merely unstable approach, too many significant changes too close to landing, increases risk. Landing too fast may result in overrunning the end of the runway,

The FAA describes taxi, takeoff, landing, and operations other than cruise flight below 10,000 MSL as critical phases of flight because of increased risk. The aircraft is closer to the ground, other aircraft, and hazards such that prompt,

This is an example of risk compensation. When people perceive greater protections around themselves, they tend to become more aggressive at the margin, such as with the driving habits that you mentioned or hitting more violently in American

Unlike Jevons, [Carl] Menger [(1840–1921)] did not believe that goods provide “utils,” or units of utility. Rather, he wrote, goods are valuable because they serve various uses whose importance differs. For example, the first pails of wate
