Yes don. Those of us who are suggesting it may be safer to make a well-informed decision to consume 10 minutes of fixed reserve to make your planned destination rather than conduct a precautionary landing in a field are thereby advocating departing with 25% less fuel than is required for the flight and pressing on when fuel exhaustion is certain. Yep, that’s what we’re advocating.
