Ok, so let me see if I have this straight:

- embro is good for crits b/c they are fast
- embro is good for cx but only if it's wet
- embro is bad for road races b/c they are slow (I'm still not clear on what happens if it's a wet, fast rr).
- embro is bad for training because that's poseur.

Makes perfect sense now! Glad we had this thread to clear up all the misconceptions.
