Using BOTH brakes for ANY stop will almost always result in a superior stopping experience.
That is just nonsense! If just using the front brake in a panic stop will not likely end well, how will adding the rear brake make it better? If you panic and squeeze the front brake too hard or don't use proper braking technique and do an endo, then using or not using the rear brake will make no difference.
