Never understood why people with limited experience go around advocating stuff.
Ever heard of the phrase "on the rivet"? It refers to being on the nose of your seat, something that's typically done by just about everyone when you're going as hard as you can and trying to generate the maximum amount of wattage you can.. Pretty much the exact opposite of what you're advocating.
