I agree. It's an option and that was my only point. I started the sentence by saying you should be on an EFP, so I don't see what the fuzz is about. It's also an option to manoeuvre visually around the objects in VMC. Or fly straight out over the sea and deviate from both the EFP and SID. Or stay at home. I didn't comment on what is clever or easy to do. There are many valid options, and it's our job to choose the best.
In some cases with a late engine failure you would be a fool not to continue the SID. Before you all start... in SOME cases.
