    Hello Skipper,

    I have no data to support or to refute your assertion, but I must be an
    exception. Since I received performance training, I use two fingers to
    brake. Yet every time I have been surprised and had to grab and handful of
    brake, I use four fingers. I speculate that my "instinct" is to grab the
    brake lever with full force, while my consciously "decided action" in a
    non-emergency braking situation is to use two fingers.
