You would've also understood that my frustration with the calipers was never because of their performance (or lack thereof, because I hadn't even tested them,) but because I wasn't able to adjust them properly due to the manufacturer's design and build choices. There's a reason you didn't understand, abd that's because you didn't bother to read what I wrote.
By your own admission, you don't actually know if the brakes would reliably stop you or not. IMO, stan01 made a fair point about the value of reliable brakes. You made a bad decision to buy a product you knew was bad, and you got a predictable result. No reason to bark at the new guy about it.
