That's the most rediculous thing I've read all day. I had so many flats on the crappy roads of my commute, that I got very sick of fixing flats 4-5 times a week. Sometimes twice in a day. You call not wanting to patch that lazy? I call you a masochist. Glutton for punishment maybe. I got sick of it and so I put in thorn resistant tubes, *AND* slime. Not one flat since then. I don't call that lazy. I call it smart. The downside is that its much harder to accelerate from a stop buy hey, its only a 6 mile commute so who's counting. I'd rather get there than get there fast and end the day with a flat.
