Aortic dissection typically presents acutely with sudden, severe tearing chest or back pain, often described as lancinating in quality. [5-6] Approximately 50% of patients with thoracic aortic aneurysm may progress to dissection without timely intervention. [5] In contrast, thoracic aortic aneurysm is usually asymptomatic and discovered incidentally during physical examination or imaging for other indications. [5]

- CT angiography is the imaging modality of choice for differentiating these conditions in the emergency setting, with very high sensitivity and specificity for acute aortic syndromes
- Recent evidence suggests that inflammatory biomarkers may aid differentiation. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) shows high diagnostic accuracy for distinguishing dissection from controls (AUC 0.933), while the fibrinogen-to-d-dimer ratio best differentiates dissection from aneurysm (AUC 0.898, sensitivity 77%, specificity 84%). [10] D-dimer levels below 500 ng/mL make acute aortic syndrome unlikely in low-risk patients

You should default to the most permissive option imo and there really is no reason to check anything until you really need to If it were left to me I'd just use optional chaining, as it also eliminates the need for no-ops
(lazy checking)

However, IMO, having the conditional in the detach function is necessary, because there are other manifestations of this error. For example, if the DOM element in a component is removed from software outside of svelte, detach will have the same error.

IMO, the conditional needs to be added to detach to fix all manifestations of this error.
