The fact that this is considered "obvious" is somehow terrifying, as if the idea that the pilot could hand fly at the limits was in some way dangerous and something to be avoided.

If a pilot cannot routinely fly by hand at the aircraft limits safely, then they are not really a safe pilot.

Automatics never fail on the CAVOK days....
