Be that as it may, I'd be reluctant to taxi a C-172 in anything
approaching 20 knots on the surface.

In any plane the weight of a C172, you should exercise caution when
taxiing in winds of 20 knots or more. I routinely used to fly a C172 in
those kinds of winds (or otherwise I wouldn't have got to fly very
often). Proper positioning of the controls is highly recommended. I've
flown lighter taildraggers in stronger winds than that - it's not
something for a novice, but with a modicum of experience and care it can
be done quite safely.

Um, yes. I don't date pilots anyway.

It would seem a placard would be more prudent.

If this simple instruction is already too complicated for a pilot...

It's more a matter of the possibility of someone failing to inform the
pilot of this hidden hazard. A placard is more foolproof than relying
on the spoken word or a phrase buried in the POH.

Ok. So let's forget the POHs and replace them with a bunch of placards.
Reminds me of my monitor full of post-it stickers.

Hey, as long as the cleaning people don't come through and remove them...

Software that is certified by a regulatory organization typically is held to
a bit of a higher standard than the desktop software pushed out by Microsoft.

Apparently the G1000 software is not certified in that way, or it
wouldn't be failing.

Not rare or improbable at all!!! Stalls and slow flight are used during
approach and landing they said they fixed that problem hahaha but still have
others! Or maybe that comment was just sarcasm (check spelling) hahahaha

It was sarcasm.

Not this time.

Piloting is quite a bit more than software and steering.

Traditionally, yes. But some companies want to change that.
