   I wouldn't have expected using the atmosphere to slow you down would be   
   considered using a 'brute force' method of slowing down. I would think   
   it would be considered elegant, and spending fuel to slow down or just   
   running directly into the planet at full speed would be consider the   
   brute force approaches.
