No. No at all. I'll explain you what is a point of no return:

1) You press too much the toothbreath past. This is not a point
of no return, because you can employ 3 order of magnitude effort
in putting the past back in the container.

2) You pull the trigger against the lover of your love. Wrong.
You could at least hurt the enemy and lost your love forever.

3) You are in a trip with combustible for 100 km. But the distance
is 80. At km number 51 you note that you could not return to the
starting point (no return) but you have 49 km range to reach the
destination point at 29 km, so that point could fail and you have
a leg of 20 extra km to reach another point. That's why planes
carry more combustible than neccesary.

Fun enough to continue the disccusion, my prefered related song is
Five Miles Out - Mike Oldfield

And I'll ignore the pun - "yet" - I'm not DUMBO!
