This is such a garbage take. I've had captains tell me that they insist on getting landing data for a dry 12,000' runway at sea level on a clear day with a light aircraft and no T-Procedure because "what would you tell the chief pilot if something happened?" Absolutely ridiculous. We just blindly make decisions based only on the fear of repercussions, so that in the unlikely event something goes wrong, we'll be able to say "but I printed out this piece of paper that says we should have been able to stop in time?"
