Could it be that I was attempting to point out, that your instance on
remaining within gliding distance of the runway failed to consider the
fact that it is often impossible at busy airports? Isn't that
reasonable?


Sounds reasonable to me. Do the safer thing! Where I fly, that's
generally a close-in pattern and power off abeam the landing spot.

If that causes problems in the pattern, then the safer thing is to fly
a wider pattern at a higher speed.
