we fly daily to the area, but we take enough fuel to either hold or land at a suitable airport. And yes, my comment is sound. It is called airmanship.
the single worst piece of airmanship I saw was recently in DAC by Emirates, departing in a +TS in torrential rain, claiming “ the conditions are within my company limits”... maybe you fly for them, then I pity you and your standards.
