Of course you're entitled to an opinion. I may not agree with what you say, but will defend to the death your right to tell such lies.
I like having a drum brake on a tandem. You don't.
Vive le difference, and all that. I do suspect that we would both agree that a drag brake, at least an Arai drum brake, is meant to be in addition to, not instead of, one or more well-functioning rim brakes.
