It might be my age, but the modern breed of pilots appear to lack a certain depth in thinking, a need to understand how systems work, and how and when to use them.
Certification standards are designed to enable an acceptable level of safety, which includes passenger well-being, but not necessarily their comfort.
If pilots accept hearsay or have false beliefs about operations there is a risk of these being embedded in the mental processes which surface in demanding situations; e.g. during an RTO you don’t use full braking or reverse thrust, because your subconscious bias remembers some tit-bit of misleading information on Pprune or elsewhere.
Take care; brake for safety not for comfort.

BraceBrace, if the AFM states use reverse for an RTO, then use full reverse; no debate.
