... Not to mention that we are talking about a <DEPARTURE> here and not an >>>>approach<<<<, and from most places in Texas you could depart in the blind with nothing more than a wet compass, wristwatch and altimeter and never worry about hitting anything. After all, it's not hitting things that Bob's beloved rules and regulations are all about, the prime directive, not simply following rules to the letter for the sake of some salivating OCD observer or bureaucrat who gets a woodie==> or earns a living (respectively) enforcing them, which is why the PIC emergency authority exemption exists in the first place !!![&^$%#]!!!.
But that's the difference between real pilots and pretend expert flight instructor, ATC controller, aircraft engineer, rocket scientist NASA test pilots like Bob... the former along with their passengers or cargo have already safely arrived at their destinations without hitting anything along the way, whereas Bob remains firmly planted on the ground, trolling the internet telling them all what he imagines they have done wrong or dancing on the graves of those who, unlike him, dared to take to the skies and died doing what they loved to do.
