Yes, and there's a point before which a return to the airport is a form of
suicide.

A pilot has to know that point and the only way to do so is to
train and be aware.

Then many pilots must not be training enough, because they misjudge that point
all the time.

Presumably you have some good evidence to backup your outrageous claim -
namely some good statistics showing successful vs unsuccessful FLWOP on
t/o.
