I am of the opinion that this forum could do without the many personal attacks as we can observe nowadays...

I see your point. The trick, particularly with EE brakes I think, is in the better modulation. This means you can more accurately control how much brake pressure you apply and whether or not the front and/or rear wheel locks up, appropriately described in German as "fingerspitzengefühl".
Of course, we all know from experience that locked up wheels means lesser control over the direction of your bike...
