Again, you're still missing the point by trying to focus on specific examples that perpetuate the idea that everything must have a deadline and a deadline must be fixed and heavily consequential.
If you keep on creating examples where x number of people face consequences for being late, then yes, there will always be stressful consequences for being late.
Yes, there will always be situations like this, actual life or death situations. Don't release this update to address a newly spotted bug, pacemakers are all going to switch off at midnight and people die - worth the stress from the engineer and everyone else involved to keep people alive.
Is a tax return one of those things? It doesn't have to be. Unless you want to insist it has to be. That is my point.
> There's no way for deadlines to not be moderately stressful. You can't decide to avoid urgency and stress.
Owners of deadlines can decide to avoid urgency and stress if they have the resources to be flexible with submissions. Most deadlines are not life, death, urgency and stress, unless people make them to be.
