No that entire post made very little sense try rewriting it.
Wait how slow do you ride? How can you possibly descend without touching your front brake? How flat are you rides?
Maybe the difference here is the type of rides y'all go on. If y'all ride super slow and on pretty flat stuff I can see how it would be possible that you could resist effectively wihtout accidentally locking up the rear wheel. At higher RPMs I simply don;t think its possible to smoothly apply a reasonable amount of pressure to the rear wheel. And at least among people I have met I am in pretty good company on that opinion.
