Right, neither do I. Yet on the odd occasion, such as an airport shutting due to runway damage as happened in Sydney a few years ago, we're left with a last minute planning exercise on low fuel. Other aircraft are diverting and taking slots, you need to work out where you can go, if you can go and how long you even have to even make the decision.
The point was, sometimes you have to do math under time pressure, that's all. No matter how well you do your 6P's.
