0 weight = low RPM = RIP.
RRPM too high for the weight = more energy than required is being used = energy drained off giving too high a ROD = less than full lever available = more lever required to arrest ROD = less than full lever available = RIP

Set as per Type certificate = RRPM can be sustained at each weight setting = minimum ROD for each weight = full lever available to arrest ROD = happy days.

Set at correct setting = flare can build more RRPM without overspeeding = all energy can be utilised = happy days..

RRPM too high means = flare very liable to overspeed RRPM and must be manipulated = losing energy = RIP

A/C rigged as per MM = correct correlation = brings in throttle as lever is lifted and = rolls off throttle as lever is lowered.

Type Certificate minimum weight = less than empty A/C weight with fuel exhausted and with min allowable pilot wt = RRPM maintained with lever down at bottom of green .

Clearly when they certificate these dang things they make allowance for people who run out of fuel = happy days.

(0 weight = low RPM = RIP) = motherhood phobic codswallop = frightening the misinformed and inexperienced.

cheers tet.
