No such thing. Everything we do, ...
While I agree with the bulk of your comment, there are well documented studies which show that poor decision making is more likely on the return leg than the outbound leg and that the further you are into the flight the more likely you are to make a bad decision.

I seem to remember to the shrinks these are two different issues but are generally lumped together as get-home-itis. My memory is these are US and Australian studies and the decisions were generally weather related.
