No, that is not what I said. Use BOTH as needed. I have always posted...

Develop an intimate relationship with your brakes, both front and rear.
You absolutely need to know how much is too much rear brake. Perhaps your MSF coach will witness a slightly locked rear as it's so easy to do... even on crappy brake setups.

Sorry to have confused you, I was responding to a specific member. Your bike has 4 main inputs; throttle, front brake, rear brake and gear shifter. Learning when and how to use these to your benefit is the difference between a good rider and a great rider.
