My question was, and still is, where does opinion enter into the
subject of obstacle departure procedures?

In the case of light aircraft, the view that the engine (single) or an
engine (Part 23 twin) won't quit during the ODP. Or, is that an article of
faith? ;-)


Where is opinion any more relevant concerning engine loss on an
obstacle departure procedure than it might be in any other phase of
flight?

Approach, for example?

The context was opinions pertaining to ODPs. I suspect that would be the worst
place to have an engine failure in a light twin (Part 23) during IMC
operations. For a single engine aircraft the worst place would be during climb
out (ODP, SID, or vectors) en route, approach, and missed approach, if
applicable. ;-)
