actually i feel it is because sometimes is best not to put all your eggs in one basket. Yes you are right to using the brake and i do but i want to have a backup to the brakes just in case something acts funky with the brakes. I use the brake 1st then skip only for the necessary. Yes you should use the tools you have to help you but also use your own natural abilities as well to keep you well rounded.
