IMHO, many pilots, including some posting in this forum, are forgetting the difference between what they apparently can do and what they should do.
The recognition of this difference is described as good judgment.
Good judgment in this instance would be that you do not fly at the limit condition where risks could be high; instead, by considering a range of variables including the possible overestimation of self-capability allow a suitable margin for ‘safety’.
