... 22.2 calls kill-this-buffer, which has 2 problems. (1) it doesn't have a shortcut. (2) it doesn't ask users to save a buffer that are not associated with file (in effect, any text in the buffer is irreversibly lost immediately). The standard emacs command used to close a file is kill-buffer (Ctrl+x k). It has a major problem of prompting user even if the file is already saved.

There are ample mad scientists who believe we can, while most of the reasonable believe we would cause problems irreversable in our lifetimes.

...'s crosshairs for more than a decade, since their experiments turned up the first hard evidence that miniscule amounts of bisphenol A (BPA), an artificial sex hormone and integral component of a vast array of plastic products, caused irreversible changes in the prostates of fetal mice. Their findings touched off a steady drumbeat that has led to a ban on BPA-laden baby bottles in Canada, mounting support for a similar ban in the U.S., ...

... If things go wrong there won't be a way to stop it... that's bad. Here's my thinking. 1. We don't know for sure that the next car started won't push global warming past the warned irreversibility point.
