Keeping this old wives tale going is only promoting the idea that playing with brakes in some fashion will get an inexperienced driver to the bottom of the mountain safely. Causing cycles of high heat then no heat repeatedly is not going to do anything worthwhile.
So you are saying we should ride our brakes lightly all the way down the mountain then?
Maybe we should just not use brakes at all?
I haven't seen you offer up a viable alternative.
Use a lower gear, drive slower, whatever it takes to keep from using the brakes to excess.
