Also, the point of my post and the quote was to say that Sheldon Brown said it IS a suicide hub, whether or not it coincides with your view of what Sheldon Brown's definition is.
Fixed that. I was not arguing with you. I was taking issue with the quote.
It is called a suicide hub because you can die riding it. A 1960's Lincoln Continental with the doors welded shut does not have suicide doors. Sheldon would probably agree.
