dude, no one is getting defensive. But I am annoyed that an issue is being made of something that isn't an issue.
I don't think waktasz was making an issue of anything....he just called it as he saw it and offered some good advice there.
I think by you being as defensive as you are towards that comment, it is obvious you pride yourself on being safe and aware of
exactly what you were doing, and that is great and the way to be.
But....you shouldn't take the advice the wrong way - because it is sound, and the reason why is because as you progress to get faster and faster, you will (by necessity) start to stretch the inbuilt "be safe, be safe, be safe!" margin in order to move up the leader board. That being the case, the stronger your fundamental unconscious safety "drills" are, the better.....because that means you will
always be safe even without having to slow down/think so heavily about it.
That was all Waktasz was pointing out by the look of it, he's just trying to save you a bit of stage time with a tip on a fundamental thing that while it matters not so much right now, will grow with you as you progress.
Important Note: I am not in any way advocating that by being faster anyone consciously compromises safety. However, it is just the nature of this sport that these little tips help you
automatically maintain that safety margin with less braincells dedicated to it, thus freeing up more greymatter to do that little bit of planning ahead/getting your head together on a complex stage, or that little bit extra concentration on that distant tiny target, to save those all important fractions of seconds on a stage.
By the way - looks like a pretty solid performance actually, with some good strong fundamentals; far from sucky IMHO - good stuff!
