Your experiences are different to mine, therefore we could each learn from a scenario suggested by the other that we have not experienced ourselves.

Also, First Aid courses, BS-AC PRM courses for sure and I'd guess PADI RD courses (I've not done one) are often preceded with an intorduction where the instructor fully acknowledges that they can't cover every possible incident, but they are endevouring to provide the student with a 'toolkit' upon which to draw should an incident occur.

Well that example covers an incident, and you suggest a solution.
You might also suggest redundancy, kit maintenance, diving with a buddy (not suggesting you dive solo).
