I agree. Nothing to add.

I use NOW the same technique (NOT procedure) after my (first and only) experience also at STR (nice coincidence).
It was a cold day, light a/c, engine a/i on, no brake fans, taxiing down for Rwy 25(?)
Probabely we all know well the delayed temperature rise on the brakes. Waiting on the RWY for t/o-clearance, then by our big surprise, we received the BRAKES HOT.
Result: cancelling take off clearance, exit the RWY on the next taxiway and queue again behind all the other aircrafts, waiting for the brakes cooling down.

From this time on I use IDLE reverse during taxi on a common sense base (as just a technique) .
