I'm kidding obviously, but you highlight my actual criticism with Sheldon. Not that he's technically wrong but that it comes from a roadie perspective. If you are a noob cyclist, just read Sheldon's article, you'd think that the rear brake is reserved for special occasions. But if you regularly have to ride in winter, ice, mud, sand, and other adverse conditions you probably would word things differently.
I dunno man you ever just run over a patch of sand in your road? The shoulder seasons around where I'm from are dangerous if you're a front braker.
