Does this disagreement you guys are having have any real world implications? Do you agree on what happens when one raises or lowers the straddle cable yoke? Do you agree on the difference in wide profile brakes like tektro cr720 or paul neo retro vs a low profile brake like the paul touring or cane creek or whatever?

p.s. fwiw, there is a brake made by a touring bike company that pulls from the bottom of the brake arm (below the pads) so that it has an angle over 90 degrees.
