I'm calling BS.
Cruising down the road. Hit a big ass bump. Throw the chain. Chain gets sucked.
Now what?
With a freewheel, you keep rolling, use the brakes to slow down.
On the "alarmist and silly" set-up your cog unthreads. Before you have a chance to grab the brakes. Oops.
Now - I am not saying that the locktite setup or a BB lockring set up will unthread. I am saying that as described in the quote - a cog on a freewheel hub, will unthread.
