Might be just more confusing?  Either way, it is an important concept that
seems to be glossed over most of the time. At the 'top' end of things people
may use an off the shelf RTOS where the question becomes somewhat moot.  At
the very simple end of things it is not an issue.  but in the HUGE space in
between that represent very many time critical event driven micro based
projects/products it is a crucial concept and one that deserves better
coverage in the literature.
