The pitch attitude figure is performance related and not comfort or visibility related. If on a windless day you loose an engine one second before RP (pilot recognition and intervention time) and only rotate through 10 degrees, your deck-edge miss is unlikely to be achieved.

On the other hand, you have the same failure on a 30kt plus day and rotate through 20 degrees, you are likely to exceeed your predicted drop down.

However, the probability of a failure at that point on any day is about 1x10**-9 so no sleep should be lost worrying about it.
