That ink on your license may be a nice bragging right, but I don't claim to have expertise on flying heavy jets, and I doubt you have the expertise on flying the small piston and turboprops in extreme conditions.
Aviatorhi ...
This isn't about bragging rights, who is the best pilot, or who works in the toughest environment.
It is about decision making and responsibility. There are those of us who are saying that we don't like this technique because if you are having to perform unusual aerial feats to meet "extreme conditions", then you are probably operating outside the realm of what would be considered safe.
By all means, continue to push that envelope in order to be the yes man and to always get that job done. However, don't be surprised when everyone points the finger at you when one of these situations turn ugly -- assuming you survived.
