Can you please explain the rationale behind double far pointers and exactly the scenario(s) that cause them to appear? I can't forcefully create a scenario that requires them manually in code. To be specific: even after reading the encoding page, I'm not sure I understand why a far pointer can't always point directly to the correct segment and data as they only ever require a single word of memory.
