Of course, blindly using the same setting, regardless of the conditions is a bit silly.
I can, the brakes will engage automatically, or I can disengage by braking. If I don't want to use the brakes the only way to achieve that is to not use auto brakes. I'm in and out of Vegas all the time and have had to lower the gear after take off several times because of temperature. I don't use the brakes until I reach 80kts during roll out, anytime you use auto brakes you will be waiting at the hold short line for the brakes to cool on the next sector.
