You will never change the mind of an individual by arguing fuel policy on a forum.
You just have to watch a sim detail go to hell when a fuel situation starts developing, even really good operators can quickly start running out of capacity. The Britannia at Gro is a good example imo Captplaystation.
Many moons ago my mate was a Fo tasked with ferrying a 767 into Gatwick with a Management Captain who proceeded to reduce the amount of fuel my pal suggested (sensible) and they set off with minimum (bare) . Not surprisingly they were asked to hold on the arrival (weather fine) and promptly diverted to Ltn !
I'm with Studi and Captplaystation and all the other 'cowards'.
