Correct. Nobody tries to run a uC or uC abover its rated speed, nobody
omits the decoupling capacitors, we all respect the maximum and minimum
voltages on PIC pins, and we never design from the 'absolute maxima'.
And all programmers use the propper Vpp voltage and the Vpp-before-Vdd
sequence (when required). And nobody tries to use a serial port for
anything but that what it was deigned for (but - where can we find what
it was designed for?).
