And you don't NEED anything but a hammer.

Sure, there are a million ways to deal with a problem, and thus I could give you a million skills we should learn, by your logic. I say, keep the toolkit small so we are VERY competent at all the skills within it, as these are skills that will save your life.
Anyways, my original rebuttal was because people said that this was a MUST HAVE skill. I'm saying it isn't. And my responses are in response to that. If I can solve the problem using widely used training techniques, then it IS NOT a must have skill.

TSandM:I have a practical reason for turning your valve off in a freeflow -- a freeflow empties the tank very rapidly, and if you don't close the valve, you have to pay for a VIP when you take the tank in (BTDT).
ChillyWaters:Oh no, I might have to pay a few bucks for a VIP in the (at most) one time in my life this occurs.
Hopefully you don't go all frugal at a moment when you need to ditch your weights.

Robert Phillips:Why don't you just give me 100,000 skills 'we' should learn. And then give me one GOOD reason why being able to rach your valve isn't one of them.
