Whether or not my opinions on my braking ability are correct or not is
not an issue with me. I think that it is an issue with you says a lot
more about you than it does about me.
Consider that although I doubted your recent brag of having cycled up
a 16% grade, I didn't think it was worth asking you to prove it. You
see, I really don't give a shit about how, when, where *you* ride
*your* bike.
I'm like most *normal* persons and don't spend all my waking hours
trying to prove that they're "better" than other people. Unlike you,
I'm quite happy being who and what I am.
The other problem with measuring is the subsequent need to confess.
I confessed to my parents when I was a child and got in the cookie
jar. I haven't found the need for it in my later life. That still
stands.
IOW, If it serves your purpose to believe my opinion was inaccurate,
an exaggeration, or even an outright lie, I won't object.
