I disagree with this advice. For most, the benefit from a QR is not speed, it's the ability to remove and remount a wheel without having to carry around a heavy wrench. There's enough pain involved from my fork plunging into the ground sans-wheel that I'll happily live with the secondary retention mechanism.

And I have seen at least two kids in the past year or so who probably have teeth today because of those lawyer lips.
