Doing that literally takes more effort than simply using the knife already in my hand with which I sliced the avocado, simply by virtue of the fact I have to put the knife down first to perform a task I could have just as easily done without “switching tools”.

Poor edge alignment causes the blade to deflect from the greasy slippery surface of the pit, resulting in the tip of the blade penetrating the hand.
