Which "no", that brakes aren't a safety feature, that clutch could be safer, or that the two couldn't be comparable? Or that there's only one way a fixie should be, and anything else is wrong?
No, seriously. It's on topic of fixed gear vs ss and it's not clear exactly what you're dismissing.

I personally wouldn't ride one without a front brake - no slur intended. I don't think it at all implies "one right way".
