is thought provoking...if not downright ominous, particularly because if something goes too wrong you can't recover without a second M1 Mac close at hand.
Sorry for confusing my issue by mentioning the potential need for a second M1.

My real point is that this is APPLE, and "IT JUST WORKS," so the fact that they felt the need to build a recovery mechanism into macOS in case it DOESN'T just work, is, as I said, thought provoking...if not downright ominous.
