Some of us have that feeling for years...
When I feel it gets tricky is if someone from a site at the bottom of a ridge goes to a hilltop site (looks down, lots of height below, then looks at the reference area and

I'd also imagine a PPL-type person might find the concept of no engine, no go-around quite entertaining...
