The quote is about post #69 which is in reply to another thread by pineteam where in a VFR flight plan there is no alternate fuel all you have is 30min extra. The rest deals with Golden's example which I agree I misquoted. In his case the situation will only arrive at the alternate if you divert later. I will correct my post. What is practical and what is regulatory sometimes does not tally and in dynamic environments things can rapidly change. Off course this example is hypothetical. The decision will also depend on what is your sequence in landing.
