No worries, and I think we can expect more on this subject.

And, that performance information is based on the loss of an Engine, correct?

Many SOP do, and the engineers that come up with this stuff are probably more capable engineers than most of us

We can assume that the performance tables work when used properly, correct?

Don't want to attend that legal discussion.

Agreed, it is absolutely essential to KNOW your aircrafts performance at all places, and is equally essential to be aware of what's happening around you at all times.

You lost me here. "...if landing is above max landing weight..."
Are you talking Structural, or performance limited?
And, why would you be landing at this weight? (I accept that there are numerous possibilties to why)
