Note to self: don't put it into a corn field in late summer if I have a
choice!

Are you sure? It seems to me landing in a cornfield will guarantee you
don't hit a tree, don't drown, and will slow down rapidly but not too
rapidly. Your aircraft may get trashed but you can always get another. I
don't care about the airplane. I care about *me*.

He *did* write "if I have a choice". You even quoted that part. I think
it's safe to assume by "choice" me means "if there's a better option".
Obviously, one wouldn't choose a dense forest over an open corn field.
