HLCPTR. How about this: you don't get in with your IFR approach at the destination, as the weather has deteriorated. Now you need to fly a missed approach, route to your alternate, and fly another IFR approach. If you have lost access to a significant portion of your fuel in the event of OEI, (= range + endurance) this makes for interesting fuel planning for commercial IFR operators.
