Hookless Rims for Road Bikes - A scam?

Josh Poertner, CEO of Silca and former chairman of the Bicycle Wheel Technical Committee, on hookless rims on road bikes:

"I think it’s a scam. I think it’s way less safe than it needs to be, and it has absolutely zero performance advantage in any area of performance – and actually it likely has some performance detriment somewhere or another."

Stating the obvious.
