Wow. I will immediately adopt that. "It's never a forgivable extenuating circumstance if you can see it".
Interesting corollary: if you seem to be stuck, perhaps there's an "extenuating circumstance" you're not seeing - and you ought to look for it, perhaps by trying to simulate a 2nd person perspective.
