100% in agreement.
However, for descending stairs, this method is not quite as efficient or stylish and attempting to race your dog will result in disaster and pain and possibly being bitten on your clumsy hand.

For me however it goes back to around 1992, and I could be wrong, but I don't think I was its curator either!
