I don't think Funfly would disagree Whopity.
He did say that both destination and diversion were out of limits. I don't know many - if any - folks who plan a back-up diversion for a weekend outing, so it was a reasonable question. The situation described is pretty low likelyhood in my view and I think asking ground stations for assistance is not a bad idea for the reasons given (plus it allows the pilot to concentrate on aviating and navigating and looking out, which is always nice). As a FISO, I would always try to assist in such a case.
