   Good. Almost nobody knows that the key is to brake harder earlier, rather   
   than braking harder later, and, most importantly, NOT leaving your foot on   
   the pedal at the stop.   
      
   I've never met a person in my life who was adamant that his rotors warped   
   who had ever measured the warp they're so very certain happened, that   
   didn't.   
      
   It's one more case of how shockingly stupid most people are.
